Burghound (Allen Meadows) 93. Sweet Spot.
"A subtle application of wood frames the brooding earthy and somber red and dark berry aromas that are laced with notes of spice and floral hints. There is excellent drive and delineation to the powerful and focused flavors that are not particularly concentrated but deliver impressively good length on the built-to-age and youthfully austere finale. While this won't wow you with its density, the flavor authority is excellent and I very much like the balanced." (April, 2019)
Wine Advocate (William Kelley) 90-93
"Aromas of spicy plums, red berries, dark chocolate and toasty new oak introduce the 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens, a sanity, medium to full-bodied wine with a broad shouldered but very fine-grained chassis of structuring tannins that frame a promising core of sapid fruit. This is more elegant than its 2016 counterpart but it will be one of the longer-haul prospects in the cellar." (January, 2019)
