  Burgundy in Burgundy - the good, the bad and the truly revolting; 9/13/2010-9/20/2010: Popped and poured at cellar temperature in the excellent restaurant "Aupres du Clocher" in Pommard. Pale colour, fading to brown at rim. Initially rather tired, "old", pinot scent, feeble red fruit aromatics and a smooth, attractive palate - as the sommelier promised, no aggressive tannins. Over 2 hours a crescendo of warm, balsamic flavours, then a kind of descent into nothingness. Good value at 43 Euros, given the restaurant markup. Style reminiscent of a slightly feeble Bordeaux (I was reminded of a poorly stored and served Ch. D'Armailhac 1995 for almost double the price at a much inferior restaurant in Bavaria some 4 years ago, which made a similarly genteel and rather faded impression). Interestingly, compared with a glass of the equally priced house wine, a very respectable Monthelie 1er Cru 2005, the Pommard won hands down. Drink up. 86-88P.
