Critics Ratings

'A dark, almost primordial style of Pomerol, the 2005 Providence has notes of new saddle leather, licorice, truffle, loamy soil, forest floor and earth, with plenty of rich blackcurrant and black cherry fruit behind all of these nuances. It is a big, masculine, full-bodied, intense Pomerol to cellar for another 4-5 years, and drink over the following two decades.' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 93+/100 (Jun 2015)

'Beautiful aromas of crushed berry, chocolate and licorice, with hints of toasty oak, follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a rich, wonderful finish. This is generous and balanced. Best after 2017. 1,250 cases made.' - James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 95/100 (Mar 2008)
