Friday, June 8, 2018 - Corton vs Corton: Really enjoyable, and surprisingly ready for a 1999. This had a richly attractive nose of dark cherries, earth, mineral and spice, maybe even a hint of roses at the sides. The palate was lovely too, with an elegant but sinewy structure of fine tannins and decent acidity wrapped around a transparent core of chewy dark cherries and blueberries, packed in with a flush of earth and spice. Full, powerful, yet with a bit of elegance married to a certain rusticity. Not a truly great wine by any measure, but solidly good and beautifully delicious on the night. This certainly has the structure and balance to age effortlessly for a long time more though.
