Louis Boillot, Pommard Fremiers

Louis Boillot, Pommard Fremiers(60+ year old vines). An exceptionally fresh and ripe nose of red currant liqueur displays black cherry top notes as well as undertones of earth. There is fine intensity and drive to the lightly mineral inflected middle weight flavors that are at once powerful and serious before terminating in a moderately austere, linear and precise finish. The mouth feel is enhanced by the relatively fine grained tannins and this is clearly built to age. (89 92)

This should also drink reasonably well young but amply reward longer-term cellaring as well

weight and power if less minerality to the medium weight plus flavors that possess a really lovely mouthfeel thanks to the abundance of dry extract that also buffers the moderately firm tannic spine on the impressively long finish
