A private dinner (Restaurant Blandford Comptoir, London, UK): This is all about energy and poise, about line and length, pure and transparent, wonderful lift of flowers (stalks) and oak spices, lovely hint of earth, very firm mineral core, ripe but fresh cherry fruit (red, blue and black with more aeration), elegant and intense, perfectly integrated oak, perfectly judged skin phenolics, great acidity, tightly wound but with the promise of great amplitude, long finish. Real elegance and precision, especially in the context of Pommard. Merveilleux. Drink now until 2040.

Premier Cru Verticals--Roumier Morey St. Denis Bussière and Courcel Pommard Fremiers (Arlequin Wines, San Francisco): Clear light ruby color. Wet earth on the nose. Medium weight. Just perfectly poised, balanced, and harmonious-there are no jarring edges as with the 2011. Subtle sweetness of fruit and a good dose of soil. Long, tannic finish. This is a beauty and may be one of the best young Pommards I have ever tasted.
