Vinous
The 2024 Plince is a bit burly, but it offers very good depth in this vintage. Dark-toned fruit, cedar, leather, incense, tobacco and grilled herbs lend a brooding, virile quality to Plince that is palpable. There's quite a bit of potential here.

Decanter
A dark nose, liquorice and black pepper with ripe and cool blackcurrants. Succulent and super juicy with a generous lick of wet stones and graphite adding a saline element to the red berry fruit with slightly chalky tannins. I like the upfront nature, really everything is harmonious and in balance. Nothing pushed too hard - still with concentration. Cool and clean with focus. Maybe less Pomerol plushness than normal but good finesse and drinkability. Ageing 30% new oak barrels for 12-18 months.
