Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 6, 2016 - The "Clos" dinner - aka Burgundies from Clos, or "walled" plots (Bar-a-Thym, Singapore): Young, a bit shy, but this was a true Corton-Charlemagne - impressive in its scale and power, and one that should age effortlessly well. The nose was still very youthful indeed, showing a touch touch of toasty oak, along with flowery accents, a touch of honey, and rather subtle white fruit aromas. This opened into a rich and powerful palate, with more honey tones, and plenty of ripe apple and pear flavours on the attack. Very fruity and sunny, almost with a tropical lilt floating over the white fruited bass notes on the midpalate, and then some buttery brioche notes. There was a lovely balance sense of balance to this - soft and fleshy on the on attack with all that 2010 fruit, before a spine of fine acidity kicked and pulled the wine into a fine, spice infused finish. A very friendly 2010 Corton to drink I thought, but this has the structure to last for decades and decades to come.
