Estimate
...black cherry, iron and underbrush flavors. Pointed tannins line the finish, yet overall, there is balance. Finishes with sweet fruit.
The southerly clay soils have delivered a wine that carries freshness and some plush tannins, which results in a polished, balanced and chiseled expression. Good weight. Succulent red cherries and plums to close.
...red cherry, raspberry preserve and bergamot scents on the well-defined nose. The palate is well balanced with sappy red berry fruit, well-judged acidity, then a slightly chalky texture on the edgy finish.
Ripe, fresh cherries on the nose, just veering to dried fruit but not overripe. Firm, dry and a little chewy with just enough fruit at the core. Very Pommard in structure but with riper fruit than the norm. The components seem a little apart on the finish.
