though this specific bottle seemed a little more evolved compared to other bottles of this wine I have tried recently

asphalt and licorice

balanced and ever-so-mildly austere finish

but behave better in warmer ones

salty quinine and anise on the back of the palate

Ballot Millot, Pommard Pezerolles other_regions though this specific bottle seemedA more elegant array includes notes of black cherry coulis, a range of spice elements and floral wisps, in particular violet. I very much like the texture of the more refined yet slightly more concentrated flavors that conclude in a mildly austere finish where a touch of warmth also appears. This too could use better depth, but my rating offers the benefit of the doubt that it will progressively develop over time.
