(Pousse D'or Corton Clos du Roi) #1; COLOR-medium; NOSE-really ripe dark cherry; not the classic barnyard; very young and vibrant; a floral aspect as well; PALATE-very, very young; really bitter on the back-end; a little disjointed; but you can't deny the power and that this is going somewhere; the elements are in place to be good in the future; the fruit is very pure and focused; the structure on the mid-palate is shockingly good; the transition of the upfront black cherry fruit to the green, floral component is seamless; easily 12-18 years of cellaring; this real shows a ton of potential; a slight cocoa component; also a sun dried tomato component on the back-end; great wine; look forward to seeing where this wine goes; AM-93; GV-91?

(Pousse d'Or Corton Clos du Roi) Medium colour. Ripe red fruit is backed by a little darker oak. The fruit gives a slightly roast impression but the structure and the finish are very good. Very good.

Great Pinot nose! Austere palate. Opens with time to a 91. Great producer in an average year. Somehow I expected more. Tannin still dominates, but is this wine still too young, or have I missed the drinking window? Time will tell! Two more bottles.

Cellar Tracker says that this is past it's drinking window. I say, that if your storage is good, this wine has many good years to go. Tannins are still present, but the copious fruit will outlast them. Well balanced wine. Good producers always make good wine in every vintage. Stick with them. Drink now with pleasure or hold..

No formal notes. Nice drinking, not memorable but still enjoyable.

2/5/2022 - Ed in Inverness Likes this wine:
A richer 2006. Very similar to my previous note. Cherry, leaves, spice on the nose. Medium body, well structured. Cherry fruit, raspberry, some oak, nice acid on the sour fruit finish. Opened and consumed over 3 hours. The fruit is fading a bit as time moves on. Very good now and maybe 2-3 years at this level.

6/2/2021 - Ed in Inverness Likes this wine:
Garnet, clear, medium weight. Opened without decanting but notes are from about an hour after opening. Cherry, woodspice, raspberry jam on nose. Cherry, nice leather, a little rhubarb, rich red berry fruit in the middle and finish. Velvety mouth feel. A little dry on the finish. In the window and good for a couple of years at this level.
