  Out of magnum but drinking so well, lovely yellow fruit with med+ acidity. Wish I had more time to evaluate.

  Decanted into a Voss btl for ~3+hrs before serving. My 2nd-btl, and exactly like what I remembered it to be. Florals jumped out from the glass without much, if any coaxing at all. Reductive notes/burnt-match, honey-popcorn, apples, lime... the full gamut. Opulent, powerful but so sexy at the same time (held up by a fresh acid spine), this was really teetering on knife's edge and not falling into the fat/flabby zone. Just great!

  Decanted for ~2hrs before serving. Aromas didn't waft but literally burst out of the gates/glass, with notes of sweet-popcorn, smoke/toast, apples. Open & ready, it enveloped & coated the palate with round, sweet, bright & ripe fruits. Oak was still very much discernable, but not in a distracting manner at all. Texture of lemon oil, the roundness & richness was balanced with great acidity that made it so darn tasty. Descriptors of sexiness, opulence, busty, voluptuous flowed around the table... Yes, but this also had that grace holding the big frame together making this most attractive. No doubt that it'll continue to improve in bottle with age...

  A very good young and sexy Corton Charlie that was flinty and rich. It had good baby fat and weight on the palate. Drinking very well already.

  PNP. Sexy nose showing lemon, flint, fennel and a smoky/spicy element . Deep palate, rich without weight or heaviness, lots of citrus infused elegance.
