Pommard Vieilles Vignes 2008 Nicolas Potel

Pommard Vieilles Vignes 2008 by Nicolas Potel is from the village of Pommard in the Cote de Beaune in Burgundy France,it is a red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes and is ruby coloured and when you swirl the glass it has thick legs and aromas of black and red fruits ( especially cherries), tobaco / cigar box nuances and spice and coffee. On the mouth once more, spice, tobacco but the fruits are the main players with ripe cherries taking the lead though savouriness definetly plays its part too. The acidity frames the fruit and underpins the structure of the wine, underwriting its longevity, the alcohol is well tucked in once more playing a structural role. Good length showing fruit and spice with some tertiary character sneaking in.
This is a well made wine, with the fruit carefully treated all the way through.
The wine can be purchased from Majestic for a shade under £20.
