1999 Lejeune Pommard Les Rugiens

Magnum. Concentrated, intense red fruit, maybe a hint reduced, edged with the ubiquity of the Pommard herbs. Very fine though astringent tannin. Lots of impact and dimension here. Super length and super concentration. If the last was an aristo, this is an entertainer!

Medium, medium-plus colour. Sweet, ripe red fruit – almost confiture – not so wide but very lovely depth. Wow – very impressive complextity – explosions of taste on the palate, real concentration followed by a slowly tailing-off diminuendo finish. This might not be the smoothest, most romantic wine in the world but it will nock you off your feet with real personality. Bravo!

A medium ruby core, fading slowly to amber. The nose shows tertiary aromas and surprisingly still a little primary raspberry fruit. On the palate there’s good depth to the fruit – shows an almost orangey note. Just a little rasping tannin on the finish. A surprisingly fine wine – I enjoyed this.
