PnP - perfect cork and fill. Medium red with browning on the edge. First night this was almost undrinkable - intense mineral very tannic and drying on the finish. Magically transformed on day 2 (stored in fridge, corked). Lovely cherry flavors with mineral underpinnings and just a slight drying finish. Quite impressive as Corton often is, but a challenge. Not sure where this goes from here but better vintages of this wine could live for decades.

PnP. Medium light gold. Nose of citrus (lemon/lime) oyster shell, Lovely mouthfeel with a linear presentation of the fruit and a not overwhelming acid kick on the finish which also displays a lovely herbal (sage?) component. This feels less developed than a 16 Bougros de Boquerots from a few month ago. No signs of premox and will keep my last bottle til age 15 or so.
