  Couleur assez profonde pour un pinot. Nez de fruits noirs, noisette, noix. En bouche, belle rondeur, fruité avec de beaux tanins soyeux. Fort agréable

  Darker opaque ruby. Nose of damp cellar, iodine, lavender, dark raspberry, spiky black cherry, brier, fine stone. On the palate lots of raspberry, craggy dark cherry, iron filings, and dusty soil after brief appearance of oak spice which ultimately faded away. Copious acidity and firm, grainy tannin. Longer finish of fine dirt, blue fruits, and brambles. Character and raw materials galore. Quite the statement from a village level Pommard.

  Après 15 ans, il vallait la peine d'attendre ce bijou. J'ai aussi fait 15 ans à mon dernier emploi et cette bouteille à été ouverte le dernier jour, soulignant ma retraite :15-15 !
  Un grand Bourgogne savoureux, complexe, parfaitement équilibré pour l'âge. Une couleur profonde, un nez typique d'un produit de classe.
  La complexité n'a d'égale que la qualité générée par le temps et la vignification exemplaire. Grâce aux commentaires écrits sur ce site, on peut assez bien prévoir quand ouvrir ! Ce ne fut pas manqué, ici.
  Le Pinot noir à son meilleur, ce vin donne une idée des grandeurs obtenues par des produits encore plus haut de gamme. Ici pour un prix vraiment abordable, une aubaine.
  Il aurait pu encore faire quelque temps mais il est...parfait !
  Juste Wow !

  Ça pinotte, c'est tendre et jolie, mais avec une certaine austérité, millésime oblige.

  Great showing. No decanting needed, the wine opens in the glass over a half hour but is fully blossoming now. Very pretty on the nose, with jet black berries, along with hints of vanilla, stone, and leaf. A deep and dense nose, plenty of power and muscle here. The wine is better on the palate than on the nose - it shows a bit more grace and complexity, with layers and interplay of dark fruit and mineral and earth. It's delicious, it paired beautifully with an assertively flavored beef braise. Feels to me as though this has reached its apex, but its well balanced and structured and it will stay here for quite a while. I wish that I had a bigger cellar, and that I had tucked more of this away. At the $45 I paid in spring of 2007, it really feels like a bargain now for the quality.
