Les Grands Épenots Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Confrérie Des Chevaliers du Tastevin Sous-Commanderie d'Albany, Pauleé Dinner; 26 January 2019 at The Cuckoo's Nest, Albany, NY

Jasmine, sulfur, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, cherry, kadota fig, fig leaf, strawberry jam,

@ 1 hour: pomegranate, fresh forest rain, tannins making an appearance, stinky hippy in a good way.

Takes three days to soften

Tart red fruit.

Elegant and well balanced. Nuanced and delicate nose. Decanted for 3 hours. No real Burg barnyard at the open - but it opened nicely - drinking really well.

A lovely burg. Classic nose with a hint of barnyard. Opened 120 mins prior to imbibing and decanted 60 mins prior. Nice hint of cherry, tobacco and wet soil. Well balanced and super long finish. Still Quote a bit of tannins evident. Super long finish.

Needed a little time to blow off some effervescence and funk. Once resolved, a really nice aged Burgundy. Color is showing some bricking on the edges. Nose has some brett with cranberry and white pepper notes. Palate features bright red fruit and baking spices and ends with just enough tannic structure. Won’t improve from here but has held up better than I expected.

Grand 10 year old Pommard has legs for another 10 years but is so good tonight

В носу лакокраска, пион, сливовое варенье, легкая ваниль.

Во вкусе вишня, чёрный перец, совсем чуток лавра и кедра. Хорошая кислотность, вяжущие танины.

Чисто, стройно, статно, молодо.

В носе шипучий витамин С Multivita, чернила и малина. Во вкусе малина, брусника, лимонад, биттерные травы. Легкотелое, строгое, стройное.
