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. — 8 months ago
OMG nose. Great terroir cannot be fucked with. It cannot. Black opulent cherries, hint of sweet wood, floral, dark, brooding. This is the EMO vineyard of Pommard. Insane and intense minerality. What mineral lift. Stunning nose. 9.7? 9.8? I don’t know. But it’s up there. Elite. Elite. Concentrated and intense but oh so young. Faboosh complexity and juiciness. Fruit is extraordinary but also needs air to show its true self. Man what a stoney Rugiens. Nose now showing kirsch. But a black kirsch. Energetic and so delineated and what insane fruit and finesse. Super complex and light as a feather but also deep, contemplative and dense. Wow. Stunning. A tick below 19. — 2 years 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. — 8 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. — 10 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
