Wonderful. A big-boned, rich and thick, full-bodied Pinot Noir, balanced from all the ripe and sweet tannins. It zeros in on the multifaceted black and red berry aromas and flavors, sharpening the experience on the long, smoky finish. Drink now through 2004.??–PM??Region: France / Burgundy / Pommard Select to Add
