Deeply ripe purple plum and dark cherry with the piquancy of their pits mark the Ponsot 2008 Griotte-Chambertin, tinged with resin and pungent green herbs, ginger and blond tobacco. Suffused with saliva-inducing salinity and palpable chalkiness, the expansive, finely-tannic, thickly rich, and persistently sappy palate performance here never looses its sense of vivacity, culminating in a finish of remarkable length and vibrancy. Look for at least the better part of two decades of continued energy from this lean, tautly muscular long-distance runner of a wine.
