1995 Pillot Pommard Rugiens 1er Cru

[dananne]

I'm considerably behind on TN postings, so I thought I'd start here. VD wine and the date is significant as it was our wedding year -- we're going on 10 years this June. Anyway, moldy cork had me depressed at first, but the wine was intact. Bright firehouse red color with only subtle bricking along the edges. Nose of black cherries is confirmed by the flavors, with the cherries wrapped in a delicate frame. Over time, subtle barnyard and clove aromas came out. Very feminine. A nice example of an aged Pommard. We were very happy with it. Alc. 13.5%. Paid $50 locally, which is steep, but it's not easy to locate older Burgundy in these parts. Far more satisfying than the similarly priced Goldeneye we had a while back at the same price point. The centerpiece for a nice evening.
