The 2005 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vergelesses smells brightly of sour cherry , cherry pit, and smoked meats. Decidedly saline and savory in the mouth, with bitter-sweet, cherry-dominated flavors, this finishes with an interesting juxtaposition of bracing salinity and a slightly hard stoniness. I would be tempted to enjoy this now for its vivacious fruit, but two or three years may fill out the finish and add some depth. Also recommended: 2005 Beaune Teurons (85).
