  Drank over 4 days. Clearly unfiltered with a rosewood hue showing its 10 year age. First day tannins were surprisingly impenetrable for an over decade Pommard. (This would not be enjoyable to open if planning to have in one sitting without a very long decant.) Nothing poured on the 2nd day after opening, but on the third day it was firing and ready to go. Big blasts of raspberry and cloves with subtle back ends of eucalyptus and ripe mango. 4th day had the same profile but was muting a bit. It's not an elegant one if that's what one's looking for, but it is a solid rustic Pommard that's harder to find these days that drinks with ease once fully open.
