Medium red. Fragrant meaty, dark cherry, and spice aromatics. Crisp cherry with a touch of acidity on the palate. Tannins resolved. Ripe fruit, but elegantly styled with a smooth silky aftertaste. From Magnum and decanted an hour plus. An excellent red Burgundy.but I expected more power from a top Corton at its peak.

Beautiful, red and dark fruit nose. Going a little over the top at this point… Perhaps some stewed fruit on the palate. Definitely advise drink now… prior bottles were better.

Tuesday Night Double Blind $60+ (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Paler ruby orange; soft and delicate nose, sour cherry, roses, a little cinnamon; meatier on the palate, a little nondescript, I like the fresh and cooling feel to this; not a crusher but happy to see 2009 drinking as well as this, solid.

Very rarely do I agree with other users comments but pinot geek is spot on. A very uplifting bouquet on this wine, black cherries dominant with a breath of menthol. The palate was of the same profile, low acid and lean bodied.
Time is not on the side of this wine, the meniscus was notably thin.

Generous ripe black fruits, salty, medium-to-low grip tannins, touch of graphite/pencil lead. A lot of hedonistic pleasure here, but not for lovers of austere or acid-forward Burgs. Drink now.
