Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 18, 2016 - Tried over a two day period. Nice wine with still a few tannons on the tail end but this mature Corton Renards is ready to go and likely hold for 5-10 more years. Very nice earthy and floral nose and the wine seems well preserved for it's 21 years. Sweet finish and the tail end with pure but not rustic flavors of red earthy undertones. I am picking up some leather and meat nuances when drinking this. This is a medium body wine with good complexity but in my view does not have the weight or depth of a Grand Cru. This wine strikes me more a a good Premier cru from a slightly warm vintage. This might improve slightly in the future but is drinking well now to enjoy and held up good on the 2nd day after being gassed. A very nice but not Excellent mature red burgundy to savor today. Score = 91+
