I think of Pomerol as being potentially Burgundian, but I'm not sure why.

you mean like la fleur petrus or la conseillante ?
weight, maybe.
or that crazy vine smoke/ sunbaked thing you get around nuits/ vosne, but without anything from your backyard grill in durham

Pommard, Pomerol--only one syllable's difference after all. Get's me confused all the time. I think apples are like Burgundy for the same reason.

Aha.

I bet you think '78 Beaucastel is Burgundian.

The last time I had that wine was in the late 90s. Like the 95, it never quite came around and was quite austere, though in a charming way, sort of like a Trollope dowager who remembers her misspent youth with fondness instead of grimly trying to pretend it never happened. I don't think of that as Burgundian, but you may do so, of course, if you please.
