Domaine Ponsot, Clos de La Roche, Cuvée Vielles Vignes 1997

88 / 100 Wine Spectator
Subtle and elegant, with real goût de terroir. Has odd aromas, but a mineral, steel, wet earth character that is accompanied by ripe fruit makes it stand out as very interesting. Long, sweet finish. Best from 2002 through 2007. 740 cases made.

Quite tart. Sweet and sour. Already quite evolved and impressively persistent.

Forward, nicely intense, earthy black fruit nose followed by delicious, ripe, moderately structured, relatively dense, nicely elegant flavors and a long, beautifully delineated finish. This has already begun to lose a bit of the incredibly seductive baby fat that made this so alluring young but that said, it is still altogether lovely and an exceptionally fine effort for the vintage.
