On the dark red fruit side with soil and plums. Drunk after a perfect Vaucrains 09 from Gouges, this one is more massive and less filigree. Decanted 3 hours before, very good but only at the beginning of its drinking window.

Beautiful ruby red color with burnt rubber, red cherry, earth and spice on the nose. The nose also shows a very subtle dark florality. The burnt rubber dominates the nose for the first 30 minutes or so; however, after about 30 minutes the rubber notes fade away and the nose is dominated by red fruit, floral, earth and spice notes. On the palate, the wine shows medium-plus body with sweet tannins, red fruits and earth. The tannins are sweet and become well integrated after about 90 minutes. There is a lovely balance of power, fruit and earth here. Like the 2011, this wine is very sophisticated, especially for a Corton. In a nut shell, an excellent Corton that will drink its best between 10 and 15 years from the vintage.

Ikke dekantert. Tanninhelvete førte glass. Så mer og mer imøtekommende. Herlig etterhvert. Også pen dag 2, men mer påtrengende syre. Men pen.
