  • Houze's Wedding; 12/9/2023-12/10/2023: After a whole day of air, very perfumed with earthy if dirty Pommard ink at its core. Very well made. 92

  • So pretty and elegant! Definitely wanted to drink this at the 30-year mark. Cork was intact, opened about an hour before and decanted for sediment (moderate) and poured back into bottle. Opening funk blew off quickly. Red fruit all integrated now with tertiary hints of mushroom, forest floor all well blended in. Very light on its feet and smooth, with solid structure. Went perfectly with Gruyere cheese and a smidge less so with the truffle gouda. Not much left by the time the roast lamb dinner was on deck, but it was just so pleasurable. Have another bottle which I'll hold for a few more years just to see how it develops, but now is pretty perfect drinking. Just lovely!

  • Elegant , balanced , crisp, bright,secondary, bricking but not brown.
    Not a knockout but has power while being light on it’s feet. Don’t see the acid’s receding any time soon .
    Tasted along side a 2005 ECARD Narbantons which was a worthy competitor. They were in the same class in terms of quality with the Narbantons being a bit deeper on longer. I’d rate them both about the same, 92+/-

  • Is this Pommard really 26 years old? It is still very dark garnet, and the palate is quite dark also, with dark plummy fruit, iron and earth. Still firm at the core, although there is some wear at the sides, this is still remarkably primary, concentrated, mostly inward but hinting at softening. I would hold this another five to ten years and then try again. Has the stuffing and material to be truly excellent with more time to unfurl. A gift from S. Doi when I visited Tokyo this summer, brought to Flora Bar with J. Joseph and A. Richman.
