Fabulous toasty Semillon nose, wonderful combination of depth and freshness, minerals, lanolin and citrus, open and very come-hither; on the palate fresh and engaging, lively, dry; very good length, hint of fresh walnuts. Stylish, classic, precise, delicious.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Lovely estery cherry and raspberry fruit, forest floor, fully mature and open for business; elegant, satiny, clear note of dry 1998-tannin, nice gamey and nutty flavours; good length. Lovely Corton.
Lovely sweet blackcurrant nose, complete and with good depth, real sense of place and vintage, reminiscent of Poyferre 2006; on the palate still a bit tight and tannic but with a lovely sweet texture and good, classic flavours; very good length. Drink 2014 - 2026.
