Strawberry and oak, vanilla bouquet. First taste refined red fruit, some vanilla, though not much. Not tart. Gradually clay earth, mushroom, truffles, spice, vanilla, oak came through, light tannin. Some oriental spice as well. Good length (5-10 seconds). After about 2 hours some of the red fruit had faded but the more complex vegetal and earth flavours were still showing. Outstanding Pommard (90+).

Superb overtones of fruit with just the right balance of body with lightness. After a good two hours the wine mellowed a touch and tasted even better. On the way: mix of strawberry with spice and some oak. Lovely.
