Best elements of fruit and floral notes yet a mouthful of complexity as well. Wish I knew how to get more — 4 years ago

2012 vintage enjoyed in 2018. Well fortified to counter the tannin, but could have benefited from a few more years to soften. — 7 years ago

Burgandy called... reminded me that I’ve yet to visit... had to fix that! Good bottle, still a little tight but a good expression of Pommard. — 6 years ago

Perhaps a little young... good but not life changing. Less fruit forward and less complexity than I would have expected. — 7 years ago
