1990 Pommard Les Vignots

The 1990 Pommard-Les Vignots is a twenty-year wine. While the tannins are considerable, there is enough body and concentration of fruit to stand up to the wine's structure. Deep and spicy, it is among the more reasonably priced Leroy red burgundies. Do not touch a bottle before the turn of the century. I suppose there is a natural tendency to overlook Madame Leroy's wines from the Cote de Beaune. She, along with Faiveley and Jadot, makes one of the more flavorful generic red burgundies.
