Terroir-istes International - France, Burgundy, Pommard (The Fat Butcher, Stellenbosch): (Tasted Blind): A light+ ruby colour towards an orangey rim. Damp earth and barnyard elements at first evolve to dark wild berries and black cherry. More sublte on entry there is a savoury edge followed by a chalky texture and strident acidity. Flavours of autumnal leaves, wet forest floor, wild berries, and redcurrant make the wine interesting. Fairly broad in the mid-palate, the noted acidity and firm finish result in a drying, chewy sensation that slightly builds. Fairly muscular, there's enough fruit to work even though it comes across a little roughshod, with a coffee husk chary note that detracts.

Pronounced red fruits and floral notes on the nose. Fine integrated tannins and medium-light body in the mouth. No terribly long finish. Very refreshing

No detailed notes. I recall it being a nicely-balanced, elegant, mature Burgundy.
