A structured, earthy expression of Pommard clone fruit, showing damp earth minerality, mushroom, brown spice and deep black cherry aromas and flavors, all joined together by racy acidity on the palate and some tannic backbone that promises future improvement. This is the cellar treasure among the label’s 2016 offerings.
