DOMAINE PONSOT, GRIOTTE CHAMBERTIN,VV
Griotte-Chambertin, Cuvée Vieilles Vignes--Vintage 1985
Côte de Nuits, Ponsot
Levels: 1.5cm; one torn label, one stained label
"Pretty, earthy and still largely primary red pinot fruit aromas are nuanced with the first signs of secondary character followed by rich but slightly edgy medium full flavors that are delicious if not especially complex. There is noticeable minerality on the long finish and interestingly, the last two bottles have been better than either the Clos de la Roche or the Latricières, something that it wasn't in its youth. While this is certainly approachable now, there is no rush at all and it should continue to hold and probably soften slightly for another decade. Consistent recent notes." BH, Oct 21, 2005
