Note di degustazione
A ripe and very earthy nose grudgingly offers up its aromas of poached plum and dark currant that are liberally laced with hints of spice and floral elements. There again outstanding volume to the round, caressing and powerful yet beautifully refined flavors that conclude in a dusty, sappy and bitter pit fruit inflected finish. This is a wine of punch and finesse with a lovely sense of harmony. Note well though that the underlying tannins are dense, and this is likely to require the better part of 20 years to reach its apogee. In a word, superb.

Rossignol's terrific 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots wafts from the glass with aromas of plums, dark berry fruit, exotic spices, peonies, blood orange and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's deep and multidimensional, with a concentrated core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and a long, lively finish. As is often the case, this old-vine cuvée is the highlight of the portfolio, and it will be worth a special effort to track down.
The 2019 Pommard Epenots 1er Cru includes 70% whole cluster fruit. It has a perfumed floral bouquet of black cherries, mulberry, incense and lavender aromas. The palate is rounded on the entry, very sweet and fleshy, with a soft landing on the savory finish. Fine, but maybe not quite as charming as the Argillières this year.
