France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Bottle breathe from 3:30pm, and poured at 6:45pm (c. 3hr 15 min). The wine is fully mature. It offered medium nose with some plum, cedar, dried herbs, with long finishing with plum. It started to open 7:10pm and fired all cylinder in 7:30pm (45 min after serving). Loads of wood, smoke and flower with medium finishing. It continued to do well in the next 45 min. Terrific 30-year old wine at the weaker vintage
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Bottle breathe from 3:30pm, and served at 7:10pm (c. 3hr 40 min). The nose was great, most intensive among the three Corton (another two are 91 and 93). It opened up at 7:55pm (45 min after serving). Powerful taste with hint of cherry, wood, branches showing some complexity. It was peaked at 8:20pm (1hr 10 min after serving), which was rather quick. Some mint taste at the end
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Bottle breathe from 3:30pm, and served at 8:15pm (4hr 45min). It shows elegance nose with flower, the palate is full body, with loads of fruits, spice and good structure and complexity. It was fully opened at 9:10pm (around 1 hour in the glass). The wine is matured, fully integrated, complex with spice, flower and cherry. Medium finishing. This wine should have good life ahead.
