Was really worried about this wine because of bad ratings. Had it with duckbreast, potatoecake, Jerusalem artichoke pure, semi dried tomatoes and a red wine jus. Beautiful wine, full body. A lot of coffee, white pepper, wild raspberries and blackberries with some elegant oak on the nose. Dense wine with an astringens present, full body tones of raspberry, blackberry, cloves and peppery notes. abit short finish. A wine I will remember, love wine because of this type of wine. Peaking right now, may last a while

Pretty grossly underperforms for the climat and vintage. No visible reason why this would be the case -- i.e., still strong red color. Aromatics are really quite nice -- very earthy, which is appealing in this corner of the tasting world. Lack of focus, balance, and all that goes with those negative marks on the palate is what brings this down. A rather surprising overall disappointing experience. There is no evidence in this particular bottle that holding this wine will yield any measure of improvement. Hopefully others show better......

Not sure what happened here. I love red cortons and prieur and 2002 red burg. This was just flat boring muted. Not flawed just a nondescript tired red wine. Cloudy and plummy. Not much fruit left, nor acid, nor tannin. Just not much of anything considering my expectations.

Slightly cloudy Color and nice orange hues with some brick coloring. Lots of wild strawberry and flowers initially followed by lots of tart cherry. Two days later it showed a very nice rocky minerality and more cherry and red fruits. Really very nice.

Nothing more to add about my 2002 Prieur wines, either the Corton-Bressandes or the Clos Vougeot wines. This bottle was the same as its cellar mate and I can say ditto to the cellar note. Am I disappointed? Yes I am. Am I wiser. Yes I am.
