From memory. Opened this about 4 hours before serving, and decanted half the bottle. This was quite well integrated if a tad muted. Corton spice, a bit of leather, and some remnants of dried red and dark fruits. Very enjoyable with our dinner, but likely has some years left in it.

Still fairly robust and structured, though not impenetrable right now. Provides pleasure with rich, chewy fruit that works with food. Not quite in its peak drinking window and better in 5-10 years.

Corton Masterclass with James Handford MW (Handford Wines, London): Probably the best wine on the evening. Darker red colour and showed nice concentration . Light olive feel, fruits show a nice darker side. Very fresh still and vibrant, full of charm. Good acidity, the fruit is healthy and definitely has quite a bit of life in it still. Very good. 93

Solid, but not shining.
