Gorgeous nose that is primary and grapey with some bright mid to late season cherry and a hint of reduction that will blow off. Now some raspberry sweet cake and a hint of cocoa add alluring complexity. Reduction already blowing off. But still needs hours to become fully aromatically expressive. Palate is so clean, so juicy and so precise with crystalline fruit that just crackles and is ripe. Wow. This is amazing. I think I sold for $42. Unreal finish and super cleansing minerality. Lovely amplitude in the mid palate and just thrilling fruit. With air the fruit is sweetening up and it has terrific inner mouth aromas and a confectionary quality on the palate when you swish. Amazing wine. Almost 9.5. — 18 days ago

Drinking so well now. Nose is mid season cherry and ripe. Some lovely earthy notes and cola notes. Spice and underbrush as well. Palate is concentrated, juicy and teeming with energy but also has great opulence and finishes super mineral. Engaging wine and superb stony finish. — 9 months ago

Nose is buttery and rich with stunning clarity. Lime zest, minerals and some dried soil tones as well. Palate is nervy and tense with tons of saline and green apple. Very juicy and delineated. Really precise stuff. Terrific acids and lovely mineral wash on the finish. Great wine. — 9 months ago

Nice but not overly remarkable. Don’t have a ton of experience with Pommard. This is quite fleshy and even slightly rustic perhaps. The tannins are certainly quite present. Not giving as much aromatically as one might hope. Still very well balanced and a nice finish. — a year ago

Really quite nice, especially for the price. Precise with great red fruit, bit of lifted earth, nice finish with great acid. Nice pairing with a roast chicken with a slight chill. — 6 months ago

Nose: freshly cut flowers. Cherry flowers. Violets. Hand crushed early midseason cherries. Magnificent. As this opens some swirling spice. Terrific amplitude.

Palate: man. What amazingly fresh cherry juice. Utterly delicious. Some spice. So fresh.

Ridiculous nose. Unreal clarity of dark cherry fruit and crazy cherry skins. Insane depth and top notch aromatic purity. Insane florals and spice. Nose is a 9.6 on the PNP. Some earthy funk as well and just a shockingly great nose. Palate is ripe, energetic and rich with insane sap and purity and awesome balance. Just a breathtaking wine that floats on the palate and has that extra special Burgundy thing that we all chase after. Insanely great. As this airs the class, finesse and refinement start to show and the fine powdery tannins. — a year ago
