Purchased from WTSO.com. Expected the worst for $30, but ended up with a seductively light sweet cherry wine that excited the taste buds with pleasure. Being scared to walk the mine field that is burgandy, this wine was phenominol. I recommend it to anyone thinking about buying a bottle. It was nothing compared to the 1989 La Tache (rated 92 by the pros, but the first time I've ever seen a 'winegasm') that I had a few years ago, but for the price the Louis Latour Corton was beautiful.

Bottle was leaking on delivery. Opened the cork and the wine inside was still good. The flavor encompassed cherry and raspberry nuances. The fruit was subtle and the wine not as tanic as I'm used to from Montrose. Overall I think this was well done.

Decent wine, tasted of sweet strawberry milk, there was something not quite right with the wine. Smelled better then it tasted. It might be too young. Enjoyed, but not the best burgandy I've had.
