  Luxurious bottle that preserving a tremendous mineral load does not skimp on citrus and pastry notes (meringue). All presented with harmony and elegance by the way. In the mouth it begins to soften its acidity, thus showing notes of dried fruits, limestone, with an infinite texture but unfortunately new wood is still very preponderant. Fifteen years have passed for a supposedly austere vintage and this bottle is just starting to sing. It will most likely need another five extra years. Thanks Raúl (from Madrid) for your generosity.
  
  Lujuriosa botella que conservando una tremenda carga mineral no escatima en notas cítricas y de pastelería (merengue). Todo presentado con armonía y elegancia. En boca comienza a suavizar su acidez mostrando de esta forma notas de frutos secos, piedra caliza, con una textura infinita pero por desgracia la madera nueva es todavía muy preponderante. Han transcurrido quince años para una añada supuestamente austera y esta botella simplemente está comenzando a cantar. Lo más seguro es que necesite otros cinco años extra. Gracias Raúl (de Madrid) por el detallazo.

  From a terrific vintage for Corton-Charlemagne, and evident here from Vougeraie. Rich, complex and luckily showing no premox. Popcorn, exotic citrus fruits, hazelnut and hints of flint and stony minerals. Finishes with very good length and intensity...From Blue Hill at Stone Barns Cellar.

  Wonderful nose of fresh cut peaches and pineapple. Rich and creamy on the plate with a long steely finish, this is very expressive now but has the structure to age.
