2009 Domaine Comte Armand Pommard Clos des Epeneaux Premier Cru

Other Reviews....
This is also quite ripe but agreeably fresh with pure aromas of mocha, red currant, cassis, black cherry, warm earth, violets and subtle spice hints. There is good energy to the intense and admirably rich full-bodied flavors that envelope the palate with velvety sap on the beautifully balanced and impressively persistent finish. I very much like the sense of underlying tension because despite this being a big wine with plenty of concentration, the balance is impeccable and there is absolutely nothing ponderous about this complete effort. There is a hint of backend warmth but otherwise, this is really most impressive. Note however that this very firm effort will require plenty of cellar time. Drink through 2029+.

The 2009 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux is flat-out beautiful. Layers of racy, exotic fruit caress the palate as the wine opens up in the glass. The 2009 is quite typical of the year, yet possesses fabulous overall harmony. Although exuberant today, the Clos des Epeneaux will deliver tons of pleasure for many years. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030.

From magnum. The colour is balanced, maybe less intense than their Auxey 1er cru (often the case). The bouquet also shows a balanced restraint but with power waiting in the wings. There is a coolness to this which bodes really well, and tames the voluptuous nature of the 2009 fruit. Tannins are beautifully stylish and the cool mineral finish shows off to great effect.
