  Medium ruby to deep garnet, well perfumed noise of stewed plums, black cherries, umami, allspice, menthol, black currant, and hints of vanilla, rich mature dark fruit on the attack with layers of mineral driven ripe red and black fruit, plump acidity and medium tannins, finished with silky red berry fruit, earth, black tea, powdery tannins, vanilla bean and more, solid effort from the good old Marchand days.

  These days I never know what to do with my remaining '05's (hold? drink? sell? bathe in them?). The critical pendulum is swinging wildly on this vintage of a lifetime. What's a poor boy to do?
  
  Pardon my French, but this is frickin' good. It repays every bit of praise I've personally heaped upon the vintage. Vougeraie is the largest biodynamic producer in Burgundy in terms of acres under cultivation, so I'm already predisposed. 100% destemmed, somewhere around 30% new oak for a Pommard lieu dit, now 14 years old just to set the record straight.
  
  Color is a deep red, nearly opaque at the center and a bit of a surprise. Soaring nose of deep cherry and ripe red berries, mingled with some wood and earth notes. Surprisingly full in the mouth, perhaps that's the Pommard terroir (and oak) shining through (BTW it's a leaf day). Soft textured but still plenty of sweet red fruits and spiky acid toward the finish. Hard to see the secondary development, but by the same token, there doesn't seem to be much risk of a near term cock-up (don't know why I used that term, I'm not British, it just popped into my head).
  
  I see below a hard stop in the community drink dates of 2021. I think that may be conservative if your bottle is sound.

  Nice mature burgundy dark color fruit still going string and not too acidic. Overall very tasty
