Domaine Henri Boillot Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru

This is a notable step up in both aromatic elegance and complexity with its layered nose of plum, anise, violet and spice nuances. There is a wonderfully intense and refined mouth feel to the broad-shouldered and punchy medium weight flavors that are built on a base of firm minerality. I very much like the depth and length here and while there is still enough unabsorbed wood to notice on the beautifully persistent finish it should be completely integrated with a few years of bottle age. Good stuff. Sweet Spot. Outstanding. Drink: 2022+. Score - 92. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, April 15, 2014)
