November 13, 2022 - The wine looks garnet-colored. The legs are medium.
There is light sediment in the bottle. mature burgundy nose.
It smells like present forest floor, touch of mushroom, espresso, coffee, tobacco, a touch of Herb, meaty, dark cherry.
Acidity was good, Tannin was powdery.
good structure and its great pommard.
July 29, 2022 - Burgundy Wimps (La Trompette, Chiswick): Deep garnet. Rich nose, dark fruit, meat, dung, touch of bovril. Medium/full bodied, mouth-filling, rich dark fruit, spice, meaty notes, fresh tannins, slightly firm but good length finish. Delicious if full on.
April 2, 2022 - 18 years old with the beautiful colors you expect in an aged burgundy. Opened work 2 hours and not decanted. Dried fruit with balanced tannins . Dried cherry and chocolate with out the brightness of raspberry. Would drink over next few years .
December 17, 2021 - It has the signature musky, spicy and gamey flavours of Pommard, but exceptionally velvety and creamy mouthfeel. It gains considerable weight and intensity with aeration. Great Pommard wine!
November 19, 2021 - Gracefully aged Pommard: dried dark cherries, prune, plum, raisin, tobacco leaf, bramble, mushroom, medium body, velvety smooth finish.
September 27, 2021 - drunk alongside the 2003, both were wonderful but I marginally preferred this although it may only be because it is more mature and probably at its peak whereas the 2003 may well still improve - lovely wines
February 21, 2021 - Very nice nose with a pleasant hint of bret. Tannins still present and balanced. Drinking well and still has a few years left.
September 16, 2020 - Tobakk, lakris, krydder, plommer, sopp, morell. Litt blomster bak. Litt rustikk, høy tannin til å være så moden. Litt kantete med stilk. Ekstremt mye struktur. Flott lengde, men litt grønn og usexy. 91. 2004 Comte Armand, Clos des Epeneaux. Tørrende. Er det fordi den ikke kommer rundt eller fordi den foreløpg er grønn?
April 15, 2020 - 2/2, very good cork.
This has an inviting, rich, Pommard nose of dark fruit, rich soil, smoke and a hint of dung. On the palate it is medium/full bodied, with rich dark fruit again to the fore, meaty notes and spice. It has attractive, vibrant contrasting acidity but the tannins remain a touch bristly and intrude somewhat on the finish. Nevertheless a decent effort for the vintage and no sign of the "greenies". Whilst it's not about to fall apart I don't really see any point in holding these.
November 9, 2019 - Medium ruby, amazing balance on the palate, extremely well made wine
