1999 Lescure Pommard Les Bertins

By billn on March 30, 2010

Magnum. Brooding dark fruit is edged with herbs – it seems to ooze self-confidence. In the mouth there’s width and dimension, no fat, plenty of tannin and a fresh dimension of fruit in the mid-palate. Achingly young but real authority here – a bit of an aristocrat!

Complex aromas of meat, herbs and dark fruit. Tons of very fine ultra-velvet tannin which currently bosses the fruit. The complexity of flavour in the mid-palate is compelling – achingly young and highly impressive.

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!

1999 Cyrot-Buthiau Pommard Les Arvelets

The nose shows the most (so far) greenery to add to the more ubiquitous herbs, fruit is less obvious. Despite the nose there both width and depth to the flavours. The primary fruit definitely plays second fiddle to the structure today, yet there is a surprise burst of interesting flavour just as you begin your trip into the finish.

1999 Parent Pommard Chaponnières

Magnum. Deep, dark aromas with a suggestion of mushroom – eventually precise, individual berries! Very, very young, but the mid-palate punch is well matched to the structure. Very satisfying from the mid-palate into the finish. Really a long-term wine…

1999 Joillot Jean-Luc Pommard Les Charmots

Medium intensity, warm red fruit, Here the fruit is a little tart (less ripe next to the other), the balancing structure seems ripe enough though and I like the burst of flavour as it hits the medium finish.

1999 Violot-Guillemard Thierry Pommard Les Rugiens

Wide aromas of red berries and herbs. Initially silky, eventually velvet textured. Beautiful balance, eventually an extra flavour element comes through. This is very primary and shows very good length. A baby!

1999 Lahaye Vincent Pommard Les Arvelets

By billn on March 30, 2010

Plenty of herb aromas to back the fruits. Warm, tending to roast red fruit flavours that are just ahead of the structure. Lots of mid-palate flavour before the medium finish.

1999 Latour Louis Pommard Les Epenots

By billn on March 30, 2010

Fresh young fruit on the nose – it’s very pretty and precise. Lots of flavour dimension here. The tannins is less fine than many but the lovely mid-palate fruit slowly lingers. Super, but 10 years needed in the cellar…
