Odd wine. Classic Corton-Charlemagne nose of flint and lemon cream jumps out of the glass but then the palate is a little limp. NO hint of oxidation but the acidity is just not there. I can't say the fruit is tired but just sort of faint. Certainly doesn't come across as 15 years old but then neither is is exciting.

Clean, fresh. Subltle nose of honeysucle. Taste was faint and reserved--somewhat disappointing. Light oak, steely. Good mostly with delicate foods or as an apartif. Don't wait to drink it.
