Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 8, 2018 - Corton vs Corton: Much tighter than the 1999 Chandon de Brailles Corton-Bressandes served alongside, but deeper and probably nobler - I liked this. It took time, but as it opened up, this showed a typical panoply of whole-cluster smells on the nose, with sweet red fruit laced with fragrant herbs and earth, and a twist of brambly herb at the end. Very attractive. The palate was a bit tighter and less giving, but really showed a nice sense of quality and presence, with clear, pure flavours of dark cherries and wild berries lined with a bit of bramble and a nice mineral spine. Powerful, yet effortless, this was very good indeed, even if not quite as immediately enjoyable as the Chandon de Brailles. Rather too tight tonight, but this should be lovely in 5-6 years. 93+
