2007 Philippe Pacalet Pommard 1er CruPinot Noir more |
4/11/2023 - gbauer Likes this wine: NRA little funk on the nose (less than expected) on day one. Blew off fairly quickly and showed some "sweet" red fruit. Good acid (as expected) but also still showing good fruit and balance. An excellent showing. |

3/1/2022 - gbauer wrote: NRDouble decanted two hours before tasting. It needed the air, and continued to get better in the glass. Elegant dried fruit on the nose. Great balance of acid, tannin, and fruit in the mouth. In a great place (with the air). No rush. |

2/4/2022 - gbauer wrote: NRSlightly oxidized -- enough to somewhat mar the pleasure -- especially on the nose. In the mouth, adds to complexity and with food seems fine. But past its prime, bottle variation? |
