| 17.0 / 20 |
Region: Bourgogne
Country: France
A Burgundy from Côte de Beaune, this has the usual light red color found in Pinot Noirs.
Wonderful bouquet, where the usual acid red fruits mingle with some spices and a earthier feel.
Fresh and quite dry in the palate, with loads of wild red fruit. Quite light bodied, as expected, it nevertheless reveals some powerful tannins on the final part of the taste. Long and lasting, it leaves a discreet and pleasant leathery note in the aftertaste. Give it time to breathe, since it definitely grows in complexity and length.
This Pommard comes along as a very young wine, yet. Maybe a bit green or rough around the edges. I think a couple more years in the bottle will allow it to grow substantially.
