This was the best bottle yet by far. It has a woodsy worchestire / soy nose. The wonderful mouthfeel has very fine tannins with that pinot noir plushness. The mid-palate has illusive hints of fruit with an intense tea-rosemarry blend of spices and admirable concentration. Smooth finish that lingers for 30+ seconds. For the record, this has been a fun case but this bottle way outperformed the previous bottles.

Best bottle opened to-date of a case purchased. Good Corton character with woodsy, gamey, cherries and pot-roast-like beefy sauce flavors. With more air the finish rounds out with more appealing savory traits. Masculine in a dignified older gentlemanly way. Past its peak but with admirable regal characteristics

This one didn't make it to 45 in one piece, either.

Another bottle showing decently even though past maturity. Hints of oxidation, woodsy and sour cherry flavors

Another rewarding, if past-prime time showing of this wine. Muscular-animal Corton characteristics showed through over the course of several hours.
