Barnyard aromas initially, which blow off to show dried cherry, minerals, earth, and animale notes. This had dried cranberry and dried cherry flavors, quite a bit of earthiness, and quite some wood on the back-end. Tough, under-ripe, and a bit rustic. Interesting for its secondary characteristics, but very little fruit, and very little charm.

There's the typical stinky feral odor of any good Pommard, but upon opening, the palate is dead. An hour or two later, it's a delicious, ultra-smooth, supple old Burgundy with smoke, wild herbs and light blue fruit and decent acid.

The bottle was recently stored for months on a friends kitchen counter, so expectations were low. Good fruit, a little picnicky, good finish, smooth, well liked...would not buy
