Tasting Notes
Vinous 92+
Deep ruby. Vibrant, perfumed aromas of cherry, plum and cocoa powder, plus a deep kernel of spice. Great sappy sweetness and purity in the mouth: red raspberry, redcurrant, plum and chocolate. Impeccably balanced. Finishes with a strong spine of noble tannins and an explosion of black cherry fruit. This wine hasn’t budged since its September bottling, says Marchand, and may not close down for a long time. As complete a bottle of Pommard as I’ve tasted from this vintage.
