Thierry Violot-Guillemard, Pommard Epenots Size:6x750ml The 1997 Brunello di Montalcino(from Petits Epenots). Ripe but attractively fresh aromas include those of poached plum, black cherry, restrained violet and just turned earth. The rich, full bodied and caressing flavors also possess excellent volume and solid mid palate density, all wrapped in a sneaky long finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. Lovely.
