"This is now just beginning to reveal hints of secondary to the notably ripe yet still admirably fresh nose of mostly dark berries, earth, plum and violet scents. There is good richness to the round, delicious and markedly powerful medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a long if slightly warm finish that delivers excellent length. This is still on the way up though it's not so structured that it could not be enjoyed now and over the next 30 years, perhaps even longer."

Pommard is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with noted Premier Crus, producing dark, powerful and tannic Pinot Noir reds of firm structure and earthy depth built for aging.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
