    Château de Pommard 2017 Clos Marey-Monge Monopole (Pommard)

    This wine's subtle nose gives a first whiff is graphite and calf leather. For now, no fruit breaks through in this tightly coiled wine. The palate immediately strikes with an exquisitely fine texture that sits between creaminess and silk. Very fine tannins show a creamy unity, inflected with a hint of chocolate. The red cherry fruit at the core of all this is apparent, but it just takes time to reveal itself. Freshness, concentration and exquisite texture all ensure that it will have a gorgeous backdrop. Drink 2025–2050.
