Cuvee William Pommard Pinot Noir
Killer nose. Becoming one of my favorite village Pommards. Beautiful haunting cherry. Lipstick like intensity. So much stone and minerals. So Pommard. Floral as well. So vibrant and lifted. Palate is deep, energetic and loaded with such pure fruit. Terrific clarity and lift with a small hit of opulence and then finishes so stoney. Beautiful balance and freshness. Wow, did William nail this vintage. Awesome fruit and length. Amazing stuff. Big step up over 17, which was terrific. Almost a cherry/raspberry pastille like aroma after air. The delicious factor on this is off the charts. But it also has terrific grace. What minerality and energy. The finish is just incredible. It begins when you think it ends. Firm tannins but ripe suggest this needs 3-4 years but it is all there.

Needs at least an hour of air. Not a pop and pour !!!
Nose is elegant blackberry flower. Gorgeous graphite. Very cornassy. An ephemeral elegance about it.
Palate is elite elegant blackberry. Pencil lead. So juicy and fresh. Mountain stream. Elegant grip.
Fail on my part for drinking this with not enough air. It’s a serious wine. Ignore the price. Oops. 1er cru quality. $100 blind.
