Allen Meadows - Score: 91 (2014 Apr.)

There is a subtle touch of wood framing the ultra-fresh nose of just turned earth, game and dark currant aromas that display a background hint of underbrush. There is an excellent sense of verve to the less obviously mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess really lovely balance and strikingly good length. This is lovely and worth considering.

Vinous - Score: 91-93 (2014 Jan.)

Dark cherries, plums, hard candy, cloves and menthol all flesh out in the 2012 Pommard Les Jarollières. One of the more explosive wines in the range, the Jarollières is also quite supple and layered, which should make it accessible with just a few years in bottle. The layered, voluptuous style is hugely appealing.
