2018 Chateau Le Bon Pasteur Pomerol
A Pomerol classic with polish and power, the 2018 Château Le Bon Pasteur is a Merlot-led stunner kissed with Cabernet Franc and wrapped in the luxury of new French oak. Deeply aromatic with violet, iris, and a rush of black cherry, it flows into a medium to full-bodied palate of damson, blackberry, dark chocolate, and crushed pepper. Supple tannins and bright acidity bring structure and finesse to its rich, fruit-forward core. Elegant, expressive, and cellar-worthy, this is a right bank beauty built to impress.

Blackberry, raspberry, violet and cedar on the nose. It’s full-bodied with vivid acidity. Savory and fleshy. Well structured with firm tannins. Aging will bring harmony. Blend of 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Try after 2024.

Showing even better from bottle than barrel, the 2018 Château Le Bon Pasteur is a sexy, opulent beauty that just begs to be drunk. Gorgeous black and blue fruits, white truffle, green tobacco, flowery incense, and damp earth give way to a full-bodied, textured, luscious Pomerol with ripe, velvety tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. Reminding me of the 2012,as well as a little of the 2009, this is a knockout 2018 to drink over the coming 20+ years.
