Community Tasting Note

Derek Darth Taster Likes this wine:

Sunday, February 11, 2024 - CNY Day 2 at Highland. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of wilted flower petals, peony, fragrant touch of sous bois earth, clean stony minerality, elegant bloody meat. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12.5%), medium- tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of savoury sous bois earth, floral potpourri and spice, nice vein of stony minerality, underlying blood meat. Long memorable finish.
Very very good quality. Oak already nicely integrated in, and starting to show the tertiary sous bois already with Pommard meatiness, while still retaining floral and elegant airy aspects. Love the 12.5% alcohol for a 2015.
Looking back on all my tasting notes, beyond my love for well aged versions of Comte Armand and Courcel, I think I am developing quite a liking for the appellation of Pommard, especially with all the newer style ones such as this, Launay-Horiot, Bouley.
