(no tasting note available)
Extremely ripe with mocha, earth and roasted coffee aromas and sappy, robust, tannic yet elegant and classy flavors coupled with stupendous length and intensity. Ironically for a vigorous, forceful Corton, this manages to retain a refined, harmonious personality. Splendid quality here and this should age for at least two decades.
IWC 91-93 (4/2003): Saturated dark red. Wild, roasted, liqueur-like aromas of strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and blackberry. Very sweet on entry, then thick and dense in the middle, with urgent fruit of noteworthy vibrancy. Lively firming acids give this powerful, full wine a light touch. Finishes long and powerful, with tannins covered by sweet fruit.
