Tasting notes
Mid crimson with a ruby rim. Slight decay on the nose. Not that intense but very aristocratic and a little lean. Solid and with some tannin still. Good purity and precision but not a charmer. Very much Pommard with its concentration and dry rather than sweet impression. This tightened up in the glass. (JR)

Good deep, bright red. More complex aromas of cherry, raspberry, smoke and earth. Fairly rich, round and mouthfilling, with sweet flavors of red fruits, herbs and game. Here the tannins come across as broader and less dry.
