WA 94 (12/1992): Similar to the 1990s from one of Pommard's other top producers, Armand and Aleth Girardin, this is a monster wine. It is one of the most concentrated, massive Pinot Noirs I have ever tasted. The wine was bottled with no fining or filtering after it had spent 23-months in small oak casks. The color is black/purple, and the nose offers up sweet aromas of licorice, minerals, and super-ripe black fruits intertwined with the smell of toasty vanillin new oak. In the mouth, there is awesome concentration, a thick, glycerin-imbued, full-bodied, chewy texture, and mouthsearing tannins in the explosively long finish. This should prove to be a monumental Pommard, but prospective purchasers will need to wait 10-12 years for this wine to shed some of its tannic clout. It should keep for 25-30 years.
BH 87 (10/2004): Big, indeed huge nose of roasted, ever-so-slightly stewed fruit that is already showing a great deal of secondary development and the muscular, rich, extracted flavors are underpinned by a tough, firm tannic backbone. This is a dramatic bruiser of a wine but it's not clear that it's ever going to harmonize as the finish is completely dominated by the structure and given that the fruit is presently much more advanced than the evolution of the tannins, it's a tough call to say whether the fruit will be able to stand the test of time. Consistent notes. Drink 2007+? |

| WA 94 (12/1992): Believe it or not, the 1990 Pommard-Les Rugiens is even richer than the 1990 Pommard-Les Epenots! It is a 25-40 year wine - a rarity in Burgundy. Also massively endowed, with port-like Pinot Noir fruit, this is a wine of extraordinary concentration, majestic stature, and prodigious potential for longevity. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2035+. |

| BH 91 (7/2008): The nose has reached full maturity and offers up notes of game, some secondary fruit aromas and ample earth nuances that continue onto the rich, full and still nicely firm full-bodied flavors underpinned by moderate tannins and excellent length. This avoids any dryness on the finish as well as the sometimes green aspect that certain 1990s display on the nose. In sum, a lovely wine that has reached its apogee but one that should also hold for many years to come. |

| BH 92 (8/2011): I had not had this wine in many years as the last was in 2000 but that bottle showed better than this most recent one that was marred by both brett and some volatile acidity. A note that I believe is more representative follows: A classically styled Musigny with a superb nose of violets, black fruits and incredibly seductive secondary aromas followed by big, rich, structured flavors and a long, textured and velvety finish. |
