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.

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.

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 .

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!

(ARMAND Pommard Clos des Epeneaux) Arrivals Dear Friends, This is a bit much for a Monday night but the season is upon us and new arrivals are coming and going faster than I expected. With that, here are a few wines set to arrive this week - all are EXTREMELY LIMITED and worthy of your interest: 2001 La Rioja Alta "Vina Arana" Reserva Rioja This is a torch-bearing wine of tradition - autumnal, complicated and chameleon-like - it swirls and changes in the glass over several hours with a deeply old-world, eccentric style that brings a big smile to my face. This is true Rioja as it was in the 1950s (with a year 2009 interpretation) by one of the last beacons of old-school left in Rioja. The 2001 Vina Arana (from a great year) will give the Kerouac cafÄ-set a lot to discuss - not for those weaned on Marquis-Phillips or Colgin. We have very little to offer so I had to bury it here on a Monday night: 2007 Sylvain Langoureau Saint-Aubin "Le Sentier du Clos" 1er (this is not the Vermarain or Frionnes which are around $25 - the Le Sentier is priced at the same level as the En Remilly) Looking for undiscovered white Burgundy from 2007 to impress your friends? This wine is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you recall, St. Aubin was one of the most successful regions of Burgundy in 2007 and this wine shows us why. A complete and detailed effort with excellent ageing ability, Sylvain Langoureau has delivered a stellar performance with this wine. Compares favorably to the better 2007 Lamy examples. This producer will be a star of the district - it's only a matter of time. The Le Sentier du Clos is very hard to find. 2004 Comte Armand Pommard 1er Clos des Epeneaux (BH91) The 2004 Clos des Epeneaux may be a value at this point but it needs time - lots of time (more than 2012 - I would say closer to 2016-2018): 2005 Larkmead Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley One of the very best price/value examples left in Napa?

Gracefully aged Pommard: dried dark cherries, prune, plum, raisin, tobacco leaf, bramble, mushroom, medium body, velvety smooth finish.
