Firm and structured. Starting to open its wings, but still not soaring yet.

Powerful ripe tannins. Highly aromatic with rhubarb and spice. Fantastic with roast duck and cherry glace

Concentrated, ripe, fruits with bramble, touch of stemminess but mouth filling and rich and sweet.

Gorgeous Pommard. So good with its depth and elegance.

Beautifully rounded, silky smooth and elegant. Very well balanced spice (clove perhaps) and red fruit. Drinkable now. Probably not much more aging left on this young one.

A Pommard with some real guts. A attention getter as the wine stares you back in a good way.

Unfortunately looking a little rough I suspect due to closure failure, dry dusty tannins, blousy fruit, just too tired - what a shame, I was really looking forward to it

Black pepper, with some fruit and a little green, but enjoyable

Great wine. 1998 vintage, very MSD like, elegant but an exceptionally textured mouthfeel. Notably excellent.
