had a few weeks ago but rem this being incredibly lithe, strawberry and hay, very very light in color, good acidity and very drinkable. as the first red of the night it was terrific. might even buy more of these as i thought this was pretty compelling QPR which is rare in red burg.

A very delicious Corton that is drinking really well now! Was a PNP, and it opened up nicely from the start. Does exhibit some Sauvage/Blood Sausage aromas and some Pinot spice. Bordering on being riper and atypical for Burgundy. It was stated 14% alcohol, and I could vouch for that. Medium bodied with tannins very much in check. Fruit was very attractive; on the darker cherry fruits direction. Drink now; but won’t show any serious decline either. Wish I had another bottle. Much better showing than a few years ago. Could stand up to Beef Bourgigone or a less marbled steak. Ideally, I’d have it with a pork chop.
