1996 Lejeune Pommard Les Rugiens

By on November 30, 2006 #asides

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!

Medium ruby red with a slightly amber rim. Very nice, if relatively advanced aromatics, a core of sweet baked red fruit, hints of camphor and cedar. The palate is sweet, shows forward acidity and grainy but not astringent tannins. The finish lasts but somehow seems a little ‘thin’. It’s a reasonable burst of interest on the mid-palate too. Pretty-much mature and very drinkable, if not the most elegant glass.

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.
