  Terroir-istes International - France, Burgundy, Pommard (The Fat Butcher, Stellenbosch): (Tasted Blind): A light+ ruby red colour. Subtly perfumed and gentle with an attractive black cherry and blackberry core, suggesting a ripeness to the fruit indicative of warmer vintages. Also notes of paprika add a spicy touch. Some development. The palate shows some age but garners a vibrant acidity and sinewy richness. Flavours of black cherry, soy tabasco, earth, paprika, and sweet spice contribute to a complex profile. Medium-bodied, the wine has a mid to long finish with tannins that feel coarser, giving an earthy, granular texture. Still quite dense, this suggests a good vineyard, though perhaps not a top producer. Closes with iron filings and a dab of raspberry compote. To some, it felt like a lighter style, akin to a Barolo with that "iron fist in a velvet glove." The cellar is located in Volnay and they own 11 hectares in Vol,nay, Pommard and Meursault. 15-day maceration, daily punch downs. Fully destemmed.
