Review Date: 04/2013This is also quite restrained with ultra-pure aromas of wet stone, floral hints, sandalwood and very fresh red berry fruit scents. There is a focused power to the robust yet refined medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of supporting sap that helps to buffer the otherwise firm and well-integrated tannic spine on the explosively long, balanced and moderately austere finish. This beauty will also require ample patience. *Sweet Spot, Outstanding*

The 2011 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru feels clean and pure on the nose, elegant rather than powerful with brambly red berry fruit, undergrowth, chestnut and sage developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied, clean raspberry and wild strawberry with fine tannin all the way to the finish, especially for a Pommard. It fans out with confidence at the end, completing an accomplished Les Rugiens. (NM)

Bright red. Captivating, nuanced nose offers strawberry, raspberry, smoke and iron. Tightly wound and savory but boasts lovely intensity and lift for 2011. Silky red fruit flavors are perked up by pepper and saline notes. Really excellent fruit intensity and finishing soil tones here, but this ripely tannic, subtly palate-staining wine really needs five years of patience. Excellent potential. (ST) 92+

Complex herbal nose of spices, herbs and blackberry fruits in the background. A serious Volnay with very firm tannins and fairly long finish. (JCL)
