Rugiens Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2011

9.4

2011 vintage. Last tasted 2.14.25 (9.2). This was the last bottle of this effort in the keep. Previous encounter left me feeling like this was slightly tired and just over the hill. This time, the view was from the top of the hill and fully awake. Not improving at this stage of life but this bottle was roaring. Light-medium body with age-appropriate color and tracings of sediment on the decant. Tasted post-decant after 15 minutes and 1 hour. Tamarind/orange, clove, cinnamon essences with some casual cola nut riding atop the flavor wave alongside a singular spritz of rhubarb. Still very heady tannins afoot to corral the delicate body and impressions. Wish I had a few more of these as this was another excellent, 1er Cru, experience. Based on this particular specimen, this could go another 4-5 years without an amended score or drop-off. A Pommard constantly sticking and moving versus one looking to land that one uppercut. 10.24.25. — 8 months ago

This is a tough rating for a special wine. ex-Chateau, pristine, wax cap. Unbelievable $69 a bottle on a case buy. Despite some serious overstocking issues, I am very glad I bought this. Intense flavors of leather and tobacco and such a vibrant profile after 1/2 hr in the decanter, it is hard to believe this is a 1975. Still a mellowed backdrop of acidity and such a classical fine Tempranillo. Based on QPR this is a great value and the pristine ex-Chateau quality make this is 9.4+ for me — 3 years ago

Pepper as perfume is an odd thought but what if it were and you liked it?! So it is woth this wine. Also that fun mix of dried and fresh fruit Xin excels at. Good times at the old-vine corral! — 5 years ago
