The Pommard was a beaut.. Fleshing out, but still a little tight on the finish. Patience required.

Your patience will pay off with this one. Tannins have lots of grip. As another reviewer says, 'definitively, yes'!

I looked for an informative 2005 rating. There is not really one. Needs 30 min to open up. Very!!!tannic seems rustic. It’s Pommard. After 1 h the wine shines cedar planks, cigar box, orange zest very black red tart cherry 🍒 blueberry? Hint of mint. Has a bite. Even after 15 years so tannic? I will keep this for 5 more years and then try the next bottle in2025 and in 2030. So layered.

A lovely Burgundy that has lots of berries and silky tannins. Had it with duck and filet minion on Christmas 2019. Needs a little time to open up as it was quite tight at the start.

Ok, not cooked, just funky to start but whatever it was blew off. Like the liger-belair, just a big, ripe, tannic 05...let this sleep too!
