Pommard

1999 Bouchard Père et Fils Pommard

Lufthansa first class! Medium/medium-plus colour. A little spice and subdued red raspberry fruit coated with subtle vanilla. Nice texture, medium concentration, good acidity and medium plus well-grained tannins. Good length on the slightly sweet fruit, a little banana too. I’d prefer the fruit to be a bit more concentrated but this is a nice drink at 35,000 feet and in this environment surprisingly refined – but couldn’t I have expected a 1er or Grand Cru in first class? , -)

Medium cherry red. The nose is subdued but sweet strawberry is the dominant note. Also sweet on the palate with medium-plus tannins and slightly tart acidity. The fruit is mainly red and quite persistent. Perhaps a bit rustic, almost good.

Still a young colour, medium shade. Nose is of high toned raspberry and redcurrants. Good fruit concentration – again redcurrant is dominant. The acidity is a little harsh coupled with grainy tannins – traditional, slightly rustic Pommard. Almost good.

Medium ruby colour, already turning brick at the rim. The nose is all high toast oak for the first 15 minutes, gradually turning sweet, completely fading after 4-5 hours to reveal cooking dark plum notes. The palate has high acidity and a little tannin. Fruit is of medium intensity, but the acidity, which just avoids coarseness makes for a burst on the finish. Medium length. Very good for the vintage and with a strong hard cheese like Comte, the acidity is perfectly balanced.
