Tasting notes
The 2004 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots has a light, licorice-scented bouquet that shows no signs of any greenness, if anything is quite opulent in character for a Pommard. The palate is chewy and dense on the entry. This is a voluminous and powerful Pommard but it does not have any sense of finesse and seems like a flat-footed tap-dancer on the finish. Peculiar! Again – a case of good wine de-railed by year of birth?

(not yet racked) Good medium red. Deep, serious nose of raspberry, nuts, leather and underbrush. Offers a creamy sweetness and lush texture. Very broad wine that coats the entire palate. Finishes chewy, sweet and very long, with a fine dusting of tannins.
