Community Tasting Note

  June 8, 2018 - Corton vs Corton: Lots of quality on this, but it was strangely less pleasurable to drink than the objectively less impressively built 2006 in the same flight. The nose here had a glow of honey and yellow fruit, along with some mineral and spice, and a slowly emerging white floral note. Pretty nice, if not quite attractive as the 2006. The palate clearly had both substance and style, with 2002 vintage's effortless balance and strength underlying clear, pure flavours of white fruit - lined again with just a little touch of spice and mineral at the finish. Impressive, with all the hallmarks of a great white Burg, but this somehow also felt a bit tight and unyielding. Given the superb bottle I had a couple of years' back, I suspect that it may have just been in a sleepy state. Would be interesting to try this 2-3 years down the road.
