Pommard 1er Cru, Clos des Epeneaux--Vintage 1996
Côte de Beaune. Domaine-bottled: Comte Armand
In original carton
Tasting Note: The 1996 Pommard Clos Des Epeneaux will be outstanding when it is finally assembled, with three out of the four cuvees meriting scores whose upper reaches were 90 or above. Medium-to-dark ruby-coloured, it exhibits rich black cherries, crisp ripe currants, and blackberries on the nose. Its medium-to-full-bodied, refined, yet powerful core is packed with assorted sweet red and black fruits, stones, candied cassis, and traces of leather and underbrush. This complex, intense, and elegant wine has a sumptuous velvety texture and loads of soft, ripe tannins in its long and persistent finish. It is the finest Clos Des Epeneaux I have had in years and should age admirably well. Bravo! Projected maturity: 2002-2010. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 116, April 1998.
