Manuel Olivier 2015 – Pommard, 1er Cru

The nose is fruity, racy and offers a very fine power, intensity, a small richness, complexity as well as elegance.  It reveals notes of fleshy/juicy violet plum, fleshy/juicy strawberry and small notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry associated with hints of gray pepper, flowers (violet, lily) as well as discreet hints of graphite, tobacco, toasted and a very discreet hint of vanilla. The palate is fruity, juicy, fresh, slightly tight/held back, racy, well-built and offers fleshiness, matter, a small richness, generosity (gull of elegance) as well as a mineral frame (racy minerality). On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy plum, fleshy blackberry and small notes of fleshy strawberry associated with small touches of wild red berries, flowers (lily, cornflower, rose) as well as discreet hints of sweet spices/nutmeg, a discreet hint of dry almond (on the finish) and a very discreet hint of chocolate (in the background). Tannins are elegant. Good length.
