What a contrast to the prior bottle. This one opens up quite young. Beautiful florals on the nose. Rich fruit on the palate with quite a good dose of remaining acidity. If anything, this bottle quite a bit more time. Now I'm confused as to what to do with my last bottle...drink now or hold??

A bit if an enigma for me. Opens up a bit nutty, suggesting early signs of premox. Yet with some air this achieves a decent balance, with a fair amount of rounded acidity.

nose: deep nose of slate, pear, apricot, green apple, and minerals with a bit of petrol
nose: a lot of slate and pear with apricot notes and green apple with slight hints of petrol.
overall: a really nice young corton charlemagne. Good deep flavors and great weight on the palate. It also brings a really nice lasting finish of pear and slate. a nice classy wine
