  From a different lot than my last bottle, this one did not show quite as well. The color was more advanced than I expected from a 14-year old wine, ruby-amber in color with an orange rim. Unexpectedly, this was better on day 2, showing herbal, cherry and orange peel and geranium notes on the nose, Medium-bodied, elegant, quite pretty, with a slightly puckering, medium finish. Recommend to decant.

  very nice, med plus body (for an '07 at least) with good deep red fruit and good acidity for balance and some slight high-toned spice... nice for sure for the $65 I paid (although that was in 2013)

  My first Ponsot and perhaps also my first 2007 Burgundy. From what I have read about the vintage it has produced rather fresh, fragrant wines with light to medium body and low tannins, and this wine fits right within that description. Very aromatic, with rose petal, raspberry and hints of baking spice. Lovely red fruit, very floral and elegant, with a smooth medium finish. Seems to me to be drinking well right now, and I would guess a reasonable window to be now-2027. Quite good, and makes me wonder, somewhat longingly, how great Ponsot's GC wines can be if this little premier is so good.

  this was nice, but I think will benefit from some add'l aging, some of the rusticity I find in lots of MSD bottlings, but not too much, would call this almost full bodied (at least for a pinot)... luckily my last three bottles are offsite so I won't make the mistake of drinking for at least 5 years

  4668 bottles produced. Intense aromatics, good weight, but this is showing really tired. Not advanced, just lacking power or fresh notes. Brewed fruit, dark rose, wood, slightly unbalanced. 91-
