Just a lovely expression of Corton. Drinking super well right now. Pretty but with some ripeness. I wouldn't hesitate to crack one if you have multiple bottles, but there is definite upside if you like more aged wines.

NYE wine with the folks. Young and sweet. I would hold for 3-5 years to gain some complexity at this point. I much preferred a more oxidative bottle of the 07 last year and also multiple bottles of the 08 comtesse Marie.

Another wonderful bottle of this wine. Started out a bit lean and pedestrian but I could tell that it would get better with air. Gained weight, depth, complexity. Just lovely. I'm not usually a huge fan of 1986 except for the softer wines that need the structure. This is exactly that.
