Philippe Pacalet
Pommard Pinot Noir
Pommard, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France

“I see everyone is having a productive morning... Tip of the spear. Edge of the knife... Crack of my ass!" Well this sums it up. Quite stinky at first. Oxidized and pale. But give it 3 hours and this wine blows your socks off. Alas at its peak drink now. If you want to learn more read previous notes. This is one of the best Burghs out there.

About every quarter or so i get to try a wine which just strikes me like thunder - this is such a wine. This one has a story (I met Pacalet in Encinitas - a total introvert but genius and bought 6 bottles). Earth, autumn leaves, iron, hint cherry, tannins fully resolved. Tamarind? Touch tumeric. A wine at its peak. 🍑 Peach!!! Heaven on earth what a wine!

At its prime. I would not keep this any longer. Touch oxidation out of the gate. Plenty of tannins left but fruit on the downside. Quite dusty, orange zest mostly. Hint plums. Crushed marble. Hint celery. Very tart cranberries. I was quite excited about the other bottle i popped this year. This one is not as good.

Did not take notes sorry. Delicious now plenty of stem inclusion I was impressed and bought some despite the prize. Best of the Pacelet line up 3 weeks ago. Too bad this was a by invitation only tasting. I love it when more people see these kinds of wines
