Score 93/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound, Feb 2002

Gorgeous perfume of red and black pinot fruits laced with cassis, anise and buckets of black cherry pinot sap. Already quite complex yet remarkably elegant for Rugiens. Sleekly muscular, superbly elegant and displays outstanding length. This is not quite as rich as the Epenots but offers better acid/fruit balance and over all definition. Very classy juice.

Score 89-90/100 · Drink 2005-2012, Pierre Rovani, Jun 2001

Produced from over 50-year-old vines from a one-hectare parcel, the medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Pommard Rugiens reveals sweet cherry and jammy raspberry aromas. This deep, gorgeously broad wine is crammed with sweet candied red fruits. It has a firm, stemmy, tannin-filled character that will require patience. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2012. Importer: Seagram Chateau and Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel; (212) 572-7725.
