The outstanding 1990 Pommard-Clos des Boucherottes exhibits an opaque, saturated ruby/purple color, and a splendid but unevolved nose of jammy black-cherry fruit intertwined with aromas of cloves, saddle leather, and damp earth. Awesomely concentrated, full-bodied, and intense, with mouthsearing tannins, this large-scaled, forceful wine needs 5-8 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2010.Given their rustic, full-blown, high tannin style that appears to offer more structure than fruit and charm, I have rarely understood the wines of Coste-Caumartin. However, the 1990s possess the requisite depth of fruit to off-set their tannin. This property's penchant for turning out macho, big, tannic wines that are meant for serious cellaring is clearly displayed with these offerings.Importer: Kermit Lynch, Berkeley, CA.
