2017 La Violette Pomerol La Violette, Bordeaux (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 La Violette Pomerol, La Violette

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 La Violette sails out of the glass with expressive scents of baked plums, blueberry preserves and blackberry pie plus suggestions of spice cake, chocolate box and powdered cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits with a firm, fine-grained frame and long, fragrant finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, März 2020

Vinous - 2017 La Violette Pomerol, La Violette

The 2017 La Violette has an attractive bouquet with raspberry, cranberry and subtle marmalade aromas. Quite pure and more elegant in style compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. More red than black fruit towards the finish exerts gentle grip and a pinch of cracked black pepper on the aftertaste. It feels a little more open at this stage than expected but it has the substance to last 15-20 years. - Neil Martin, Feb. 2020
