  December 10, 2017 - One of the better experiences I have had randomly selecting a wine based a label reading. Having sat on this for longer than expected (6+ years) I was concerned it was past its prime, I am pleased to say this wine is still holding its own.
  Big fruit on the nose. Pleasingly jammy on the pallet with a big mouth feel and a satisfying long finish. On appearance the wine is slightly translucent with only the slightest hint of rustiness at the lip of the meniscus, else-wise showing as a healthy ruddied wine with a number of years of life left.

  July 19, 2006 - TN: Dinner at Providence (LA, CA) with 90 Cristal, '97 O Leflaive Batard & '03 Latour Pommard: Because the restaurant’s focus is seafood, I didn’t think we would need any red wine. Fortunately, I miscalculated and as we were indeed having a pork belly and buffalo loin. We were pretty filled up at this point, yet we all wanted something to pair with the red meat. The only half bottle from Burgundy on the menu was the ’03 Latour Pommard. Bring it on. I was both excited to try another ’03 from a vintage I bought very little and happy that I would have a red Burg to enjoy with the meat courses. Let me just say that this ‘03 village wine was rich, well focused and very enjoyable. Certainly as one would expect, the fruit was ripe and concentrated. It was difficult to place this as Pommard as the rusticity and profile was absent for me. The vintage seemed to interfere with the wine’s sense of place. That said, it was clearly Burgundy and very enjoyable. Very lush and long in the finish with some acidity holding things in place. There seems to be a future for this one. Even my father and brother thought it was good. I never thought I would see the day when my father would comment favorably on French wines as well as enjoying a fine meal with him, absent of domestic wines. There comes a time!
