Albert Boillot Pommard 1er Cru Les Argillières

Trip to Burgundy; 6/7/2009-6/10/2009 (The Cote d'Or) : Nice nose. Mushroom, soil and a melody of fruits like plums, cassis and lighter strawberry tones. Palate was a tad closed, but showed lots of fulness, with pure, dark berry flavours wrapped in a plush, silky texture. Lovely finish. Long, plenty of power with a nice burst of cherries and a touch of wood spice. Very young still, should be lovely in time.
