(Domaine AF Gros Pommard Les Pezerolles) FIRST TASTING (after 3 hour decant): COLOR-medium; NOSE-a little tight; some chalk; dark chocolate covered licorice; there is a creaminess & elegance on this nose; Crème Brule action; TASTE-BIG tannins on this wine ripping through my palate; completely tight as a rock flavors; I get a little gaminess and a little mushroom aspect, but very tight; It's so young that it's almost undrinkable; tight firm tannins; lacking a lot of fruit right now; probably unpleasant experience for many because there is that much structure and tannins; I think we've opened this wine 15-20 years too soon; so tight & undrinkable; unapproachable; I'm going to decant this for 48 hours and re-taste on Wednesday 10/7; this wine is too young to be evaluated and scored; GV-?? SECOND TASTING on Episode #554 (after 48 hour decant): NOSE-considerable difference, a cola component, a little chalk dust & greenness; mocha, chocolate; green pepper; TASTE-it's opened up considerably; getting a lot of cherries & strawberries; still very tight tannins; a tea leaf component on the mid-palate; finishes very fresh w/ great length; this wine has a lot of potential; little hint of cinnamon stick on the back-end; a solid bottle of Burgundy; I like it quite a bit; this is a very nice wine 2 days later; GV-91+

Nice but too advanced, we did a H2H with the Domaine Courcel Pommard 1er Cru Epenots 2005 and the Gros showed brown edges and tasted too advanced. A bit too rustic.

Old raspberry, cranberry, sous bois; medium bodied, good balance, some elegance, reasonably long finish; not exceptionally enticing, and a little muscular, but good

Lovely bottle of burgundy. 1,5 hours decant, evocative nose with red berries, truffle, sous-bois. Nice fruit and decent length while not a powerhouse. Went well with fish bourgignon. Intellectual wine.

Classic Burgundy; a touch of earth but very smooth and drinking very well. My own view is that these 2005s, at least the premier crus are mostly ready to drink notwithstanding some professional advice to keep them forever. Decanting for 1-2 hours works well in my experience to date.
