TN: $35 Pommard 1er

Sep 25, 2014 0 Replies

Monday was roast chicken, sauteed oyster and shiitake mushrooms, lentils, s alad with balsamic marinated plums, and the 2002 Coste-Caumartin "Le Clos d es Boucherottes" Pommard 1er Cru; Tight at first, opens up, sapid red fruit s, good acids, bright, drinks well and accompanies food nicely. Quite pleas ant, but not very complex, and without the strength I'd expect from a Pomma rd 1er in a good vintage. I enjoyed, but if served blind I'd have guessed a nice Bourgogne or perhaps a Beaune. B/B-



Retasted on Wednesday oxidation had taken over. Hey, it was cheap (for 1er Burg)



Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a p arty where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivi ty, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
