"Extravagant aromas explode from the glass with intensely spicy, black fruits together with a terrific inner core of pinot extract. Seductive, lush and extremely long with powerful, densely packed tannins completely wrapped in velvet, this should drink well both young and old. Exceptionally good with a lingering, almost haunting finish. Clearly Pommard in character but with more style and elegance than most. I wrote this regarding the barrel sample and I am pleased to report that everything that I saw in barrel made it into the bottle. The only additional characteristic that bears mentioning is the exquisite harmony this displays, seamlessly combining every element. Really a lovely effort and as noted, this should age for a long time."
