Pommard 1er Cru Grand Clos Des Epenots 2010

A beautifully layered nose of purple fruit, violets and soil tones leads to exceptionally rich, velvety and sappy medium weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the very firm but not hard tannic spine on the dusty and mocha-infused finish. This is a highly complex and robust but reasonably refined and well-balanced Epenots that is built for the long haul. Drink: 2025+. Outstanding. (Allen Meadows,burghound.com,April 15, 2013)
