  Very nice again. Not quite as good as the last two bottles - lacks concentration comparatively. Excellent balance, with notes of bright red fruit (cherry and raspberry) and oak.

  Absolutely gorgeous and better than two years ago. Verve, with beautiful clarity and color. Notes of raspberry, blackberry, oak and tobacco. No sediment, funk or barnyard notes, with a medium, long finish.

  Well structured but rather unyielding of pleasure. Just lacking the body to really deliver. Needs a good hour decant.

  Brutally cold night in Denver for early March. Gorgeous Pommard Rugiens, with great color, clarity and superb balance. Notes of blackberry, tobacco and earth floor, with a medium long finish.
