Pomerol wines are very pleasing. Deep red in colour (an archetypal claret), but not too acidic. It also does not tend to have too much tannin which can be off putting for so many wine drinkers. Pomerol is one of those wines that is complemented and complements food in a quite magical fashion. Cheeses in particular as well as rich dinners with red meat, venison, and pheasant go particularly well with this wine, though it is equally pleasurable to drink on its own.
