WTN: Lalande de Pomerol

Ch. des Annereaux 2004 - Lalande de Pomerol; 12,5% abv; 18,39€
This already has some mature elements to the scent and is pleasantly dark in fruit and doesn't have obvious oak. It is pleasantly light despite being fleshy, has an attractive skeleton and is moreish and easy to drink. With a bit of lamb, this was a very enjoyable mid-week bottle. Overpriced here, however.

I'm glad you liked it Otto. There are some Lalande de Pomerol wines out there that would horrify you. If you ever see La Fleur de Bouard you are advised to run, very fast in the other direction. It's a wine that is definitely not in your style.

I'll keep that warning in mind!
