Pommard 1er Cru Rugiens-Bas (0.75 L)

A relatively high-toned and beautifully complex nose of stone-infused red currant, raspberry and spice hints marries into supple and silky-textured medium-bodied flavors that tighten up considerably on the explosive and intensely mineral-driven finish. I very much like the focus and calm poise this powerful effort exudes and like many of the ’09 de Montille wines, this should age effortlessly.
