  April 5, 2024 - This bottle tested much better than the previous one (which was tested in summer heat so maybe not in the best conditions). All bottles from an original carton so either it was tasting conditions, or bottle variation. 10 to go so i will have the time to do a thorough analysis as to what it is :-). Anyway, fully matured and alluring. Clearly won’t get any better than this and will be happy to pop again very soon.

  December 24, 2023 - Dark fruit and a little prune on the nose and maybe just a little past it’s prime in 2023. Good acidity and excellent integrated structure with dense middle taste and a peppery long finish. Drink it up now it’s execellent.

  July 22, 2023 - Being a bit tough on rating here. This is a good wine but i found it a bit thin (slightly watery), which meant less aromatic intensity. I’ll try another bottle soon to rest my case and hopefully find out it was just a weak bottle! This bottle showed this pommard is probably already on the decline

  December 24, 2021 - Excellent pommard. PnP with pan seared Red Snapper with sautéed mushroom/asparagus and port reduction. Great balance and integration of primary fruit, earthiness and acidity.

  August 30, 2021 - Enjoyed with minimal decant. Red fruit dominant and mint, earth, fig, red licorice all very present. A little funky perhaps on both the nose and palate, but this actually blew off after 30 minutes or so and left you with a lot of bing cherry, raspberry and dirty black cherry. Acidic, slightly jagged start and finish here and I betcha this would have settled after long enough, but it really disappeared rather quickly so....yeah.... This bottle needs food to round it out and there wasn't a lot of that when it was popped. Well integrated and really quite ready to go now but could also age another 15-20 years with proper cellaring.
