I think Burghound pretty much nailed this one, although I liked it slightly less than he did. Yes, this is distinctively Pommard. There is that sense of Iron and firmness that Allen mentions which is trademark Pommard. And yes, this is also typically 2007, softer and more approachable than expected from this terroir and a fine food wine. The color, especially on the second night gave me some concern as I also observed noticeable browning...not something I think is desirable in a young burgundy. Aromatically, nice, obviously burgundy but not particularly attractive or noteworthy. In the mouth, firm, has presence, noticeably structured/slight acidic with a nice, palate cleansing finish. A good wine to be sure but I cannot recommend accumulation as I feel this will not be long lived and will likely dry out within 2-4 years. Drink Up is my suggestion.

Nose of leather, some mushroom. Some muted fruit in the mouth, tertiary flavours.

Terrior, red meat on the nose, dark fruit and nutmeg on the palate. Very nice.
