Spicy reedy cherry and red-plum aromas open this high-acid sizzler from a cool vintage. Lean as a stick in terms of build, this tastes of raspberry, red plum and dry spices. A short but juicy and tig…

This is indicated as a reserve-level selection, but at the moment remains unfocused, and even a bit dilute. Tart fruits and tight tannins never quite fit together. The drying finish carries a hint of…

The nose is very shy: a mere hint of earthiness emanates. The slender palate shows very clean fruit of yellow apple residing on a slender lemony palate. This is fresh and sprightly with a dry finish.…

Blackberry aromas blend with open-grained oak to create a slightly charred bouquet. A bit acidic and edgy in feel, with a mix of herb, plum and berry flavors. Tight, juicy and a touch short on the fi…

There are signs of juiciness in this young wine although for now, it is firm and dry. With a hard edge and bitterness it will need aging to show roundness. Drink from 2018.

Intriguing aromas of lime leaf, green apple, mint and apricot rise up. The stone fruit flavors drink close to dry and are lighter in style but with a pleasing sense of balance.

This is a hard-edged wine, a typical trait of young Pommard. It has a firm, dry and tannic character, and the ripe, generous fruit sits underneath. Wait for at least five years for this wine to be re…
