  As good as you'd expect a '99 Corton GC to be. Best aspect is the aromatic intensity -- wonderful stuff there. Full-on mélange of flowers, fruit, spice; the works. Quite good on the palate too, but best with small pours -- gets tired quickly in the glass. Good fruit, nice earth. Pleasing. No rush to drink, but no perceptible reason to hold, either.

  Last bottle - and it was very good. Brownish hue, not too dark. Nose of over ripe strawberries and forest floor. Again strawberries with truffle and tobacco in the mouth. Silky and fleshy finish. Perhaps a little past its peak.

  Woops! I waited too long for this one. the colour was very mature -with brown edge. Nose, like the colour - mature and on the way down hill. Some strawberry fruit on the palate and then it finishs short and tart.
