Vincent Dancer, Pommard Perrieres Size:6x750ml the Roagna 2014 Barbaresco AlbesaniThis is aromatically similar to the Montrevenots if perhaps just a bit earthier. There is more volume if slightly less refinement to the medium bodied flavors that also reflected a touch of minerality on the focused, powerful and only mildly rustic finale. This is a very good Pommard villages and worth considering.
