The third vintage from the parcel purchased in 2012, the 2014 Pernand Vergelesses Combottes has a more understated bouquet compared to the nascent Clos de la Croix de Pierre, but it is still well defined and focused with lime flower, green apple and subtle resinous scents. The palate is clean and fresh on the entry, the acidity a little sharper than the aforementioned, but just missing a little complexity on the finish at the moment, just a little taciturn when you want it to "spread its wings" and live a little. Hopefully it will gain something once in bottle.
