Tasted over 2 hrs -nearly semi-translucent med red mild edge clearing -initial bright red fruit takes on a slightly more somber note after a couple hours -med/med+ acidity builds through to the finish where it cuts through the med weight sappy earthy cherry palate with just the faintest hint of medicinal, med tannins are quite fine for Corton -was worried it might be too young but this is drinking very well now early in its long prime drinking plateau

Grands Jours de Bourgogne 2014 Day 5: Volnay and Meursault, Corton 3-21-14: 10% new oak. Nose is beautiful with a fresh fruit that rushes to the nose! But no syrupy heft here--thin, like pure spring water, forest pine needles, wild strawberry, jam in tow. Palate shows watery acid, vinyl, strawberry jam, red currant residuals.
