Gorgeously wide open nose of mid to late season cherries, gorgeous wet moss and earth, has a lipstick like stank to it, which is low yielding 16’s signature. Terrific depth to this nose. A nose that one can chew on. Juicy, round, fresh and structured with superb finesse and Pommard stoniness. Showing so well. I’m going to seek out other 16 Pommard village wines as this and the Bouley I had a few weeks ago were knockouts. This has such terrific fruit but is still holding back. I’d wait 3-4 year till next bottle but very very good wine today.
