Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Pierre Rovani
The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Pommard Les Vignots reveals dark roasted fruit aromas. Medium-bodied and firmly structured, this is a broad, blackberry and licorice-laced wine with a firm, tannic backbone. Projected maturity: 2004-2010. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 485-1800.

Excellent ruby-red color. Musky, tangy aromas of raspberry, cherry, coffee and dark chocolate. Fat, silky, sweet and pliant; pure fruit flavors enlivened by lovely vinosity. A wine of very good rather than outstanding density but impeccably balanced. Finishes with lush tannins and very good length.
