2004 Pommard Les Charmots

(from vines more than a century old, says Laurent, who told me the production here was just 15 hectoliters per hectare) Deep ruby-red. Deep aromas and flavors of maraschino cherry, minerals and leather. Fat and creamy; large-scaled and thick for the year. Broad, spicy and palate-staining wine with impressive density and suave tannins.
