It offers open and simple red berry fruit on the nose. The palate is nicely structured with darker fruit than the nose, a touch of tea leaves and black pepper. There is a little attenuation but it should fill out by the time of bottling.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98-90 points - Neal Martin, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce again the nose is wonderfully elegant, pure and airy with its ultra-fresh aromas of the essence of crushed red cherry, plum and discreet spice wisps. The sleek and beautifully detailed flavors aren't especially dense but I like the sense of underlying tension as well as the evident minerality that seems to be even more apparent on the lightly austere, dusty and solidly persistent finale. This is really very good, especially for such young vines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Allen Meadows, Burghound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Heart \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44250451673268,"sku":null,"price":273.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/1261\/1508\/files\/FONTAINEGAGNARDPOMMARD1ERRUGIENS.jpg?v=1700109645","url":"https:\/\/randalls.net.au\/products\/pre-arrival-2024-fontaine-gagnard-pommard-1er-cru-rugiens-750ml-bottle","provider":"Randall's Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
