Château de Bel-Air Lalande-de-Pomerol 2015

Rich and solidly tannic, this is a dramatic statement for this lesser appellation, and the wine has the concentration to carry the treatment. In fact, it finishes rather elegant and classical. You could drink this with a steak tonight, but those who have the patience to cellar it until at least 2020 will get so much more pleasure! [Enjoy through end of decade+.] Score – 93.
