  Love the brown leathery colour. All sorts of hints of age, balancing beautifully with the fruitiness. The age shows clove and black pepper spiciness, but the core of fruit has iron, blood /gamey notes and sweetness. This is tremendous and so satisfying. Bloody brilliant.

  Super silky, elegant and lovely, I would not have guessed this was a Pommard Rugiens. A bit more restrained than the Bouchard Clos St. Marc, but excellent structure and better balance. Lovely mouth-watering tangy finish keeps this lively and vibrant. At Blair's, EWG 2002 retrospective.

  Old Guys Lunch (The Minikahda Club, Mpls): Dark red color. Drank a glass over an hour. The nose shows loads of dry earth, sous bois, dried violets, iron, tobacco leaf and cherry. The palate has a juiciness to the red cherry notes, iron and minerality, fine tobacco, dried twigs and refined tannins. Medium full bodied, beautifully constructed and very pretty all around. This took a step up and has resolved further from the bottle we had 6 years ago.

  My btl at our recent "Old Guys" lunch. CV,LS,TS,JV, SP + guest (he's everywhere) scribe KB. Fantastic snowy afternoon at Leo's cozy Club! Opened about an hour prior to leaving for Minikahda Club and found this exquisite! If anything, maybe slightly more perfect on opening but still excellent near the end of lunch. This is quintessential red Burgundy from the hands of a master, hands off producer. Crimson amber red that darkened a smidge with glass time. Weightlessly ethereal with; sous bois, stunning mineral, spice, red fruit and completely resolved with a beautiful patina of age. Cork came out tight with little soak. Almost no sediment. Purchased from retailer private cellar sale 5-1/2yrs ago for $130. There are great, under the radar, btls out there with age for far less than you expect. This is one. Loved it!

  Textbook Pommard with enormous structure: dark cherries, iodine, earthy notes. Powerful but elegant at the same time and with some air it gained impressive depth and length. Some say Les Rugiens should be Grand rather than 1er Cru. I‘m not the biggest expert in that league but it sure doesn’t sound wrong to me.
