Community Tasting Notes 30

    December 25, 2023 - Showing age - visually and aromatically.
    Baked apple, dried apricot, toasted almond, and baking spice.
    There is still some life left on the palate but this is on the way out.

  • ONEFIVE Likes this wine:

    April 18, 2021 - Rich golden hue.
    Apricot, pear, golden apple, honey, and a bit of toasted oak.
    Delicious in the mouth. Full body, medium acid, low tannin, and a lengthy finish.
    Great bottle that will continue to drink wel for the next 5-10 years.

    September 7, 2018 - Twenty Eight - 2018: Premoxed. It was very telling by the color. I still found the nose quite attractive, but the wine was plagued by the overt tart profile.

    April 11, 2016 - A winner in the premox lottery. Has the integration of Cortony green apple and vanilla nougot that you only get with age. Not the most muscular or taut vintage, but good richness and concentration with great minerality that really shines through when paired with food. Lovely.

    January 24, 2016 - Delicious. Everything you'd want from a 15 year old Corton-Charlie. Citrus and tropical fruit, waxy, buttery, but balanced with solid minerality.

    (Boillot Henri Corton-Charlemagne) Not light colour - at least not when using the previous two as reference. Very ripe, honey on the nose. In the mouth it’s fat and concentrated - no obvious oxidation aromas or flavours - but not the zing, not the painful intensity and not the haunting finish of those first bottles - comment from winemaker friend #2: “you called me round just to taste this?” - ouch.

    (Boillot Henri Corton-Charlemagne) Deeply coloured for such a young wine, a shimmering gold. The nose has a creamy fruit-salad sense to it, almost brooding. The palate is a Charlemagne tour-de-force with it's upfront burst of flavour and stunning concentration - it was a challenge to drink the second glass - but I persevered!. Keeping the wine in your mouth brings thoughts of a stream gushing over rock, but if you need a respite and try swallowing you're in for a shock, it's like opening the curtains and letting in the sun as the finish unfolds with deep, creamy waves. Best young Charlie I ever tried - as if I haven't bought enough white wine already...
