Community Tasting Notes 1

  June 6, 2022 - Quite a bright red. Sweet nose - ripe small berried red fruits - slightly one dimensional - and oak - something of a surprise for 1993. Pleasant herbal notes. There is new oak evident on the palate too, behind which there is perhaps a Pommard of some restraint and serenity. A lot of fruit. Impressively fresh. The tannins are polished by the oak but are undeniably well mannered for a 1993. There is nothing astringent about this. Any rigorous Pommard or vintage character is buried under the cellar treatment. I am not sure I could place this in Pommard either. Fairly represents the choice you make - here is a wine no doubt more appealing to some because of how the elevage has smoothed out the edges of any more "characterful"/less attractive elements - and there is a lot of vibrant fruit still - but as a result it has lost all identity to vineyard and vintage. And why hold it ? This shows that new oak at this level never integrates into the wine - even after almost 30 years. A singe bottle bought on release for an event that never happened. Not for me, as expected.
