🏰【A rare and historic Pommard from a challenging 1972 vintage, offering a glimpse into the resilience and evolution of aged Burgundy Pinot Noir】. The 1972 vintage in Burgundy was generally considered a very difficult year, with many wines being lean and acidic. However, some top producers managed to craft wines that, with significant age, can still offer a unique experience. The wine has a light color and can present an impressive nose, with some fruit still present, and be well-balanced with a very long finish. General aged Pommard notes include leather, mushroom, cured meat, oak, tobacco, vanilla, blackberry, blackcurrant, pepper, rosemary, and raspberry. 🍴 Aged Pinot Noir from Burgundy pairs well with duck, goose, game birds, and earthy dishes with mushrooms. 🥂 This is an extremely rare and special bottle, suitable for a truly momentous occasion, a significant anniversary, or a tasting for collectors of historic Burgundy. Kindly reminder: As a wine from 1972, this is a truly historic bottle from a difficult vintage. Expect a very evolved and delicate profile. The color will likely be light with significant bricking. Aromas will be dominated by tertiary notes of dried red fruits, forest floor, mushroom, and leather. The palate will likely be soft, complex, and with fully integrated tannins, likely showing more acidity than fruit. Handle with extreme care, as older corks can be fragile, and check the capsule for any signs of compromise. Decanting is highly recommended to remove sediment and allow the wine to open up gently.
