December 5, 2023 - From memory. Opened this about 4 hours before serving, and decanted half the bottle. This was quite well integrated if a tad muted. Corton spice, a bit of leather, and some remnants of dried red and dark fruits. Very enjoyable with our dinner, but likely has some years left in it.

March 24, 2015 - Corton Masterclass with James Handford MW (Handford Wines, London): Probably the best wine on the evening.
Darker red colour and showed nice concentration . Light olive feel, fruits show a nice darker side. Very fresh still and vibrant, full of charm. Good acidity, the fruit is healthy and definitely has quite a bit of life in it still. Very good. 931 person found this helpful Comment -
