Comte Armand, Pommard 1er Cru, Clos des Epeneaux, Monopole, Domaine de Clos des Epeneaux, 1989

Can the vintage be right? Bright ruby that is just translucent with not a touch of orange. Bright concentrated fresh raspberry scents mixed with a hint of cassis. At 14 years old this wine is still fruity. Silky and almost creamy on the palate it is not at all heavy. Bitter wild cherry flavors dominate the youthful flavors. Very nicely structured with a firm tannic backbone that is in balance with the fruit. The long complex finish show a bit of cranberry to balance the long ripe cherry finish. One of the best 89's I have tasted lately. This is an exciting wine.
