The 2008 Pommard emerges from the glass with wild cherries, tobacco, iron and earthiness. Wilder, gamy notes add complexity without detracting from the prettiness of the bright red fruit. Still quite tight, the Pommard could use another year in bottle or two. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2018. Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel. (914) 253-7756
