Friday, May 17, 2019 - Drank alongside the 1986 Coche Corton Charlemagne, 1986 Roulot Meursault Perrieres, and 1989 Coche Perrieres.

This is a powerful Corton Charlemagne. The 96 acidity is very prominent. There is not as much fruit or depth as the 04 that we had a few months ago. However the oak on this was far more integrated and not noticeable. There is a fine mineral streak through this great wine. On any other night this has a shot at WOTN. Tonight it lacked the complexity and nuances of the Coche and even the Roulot. Still, a great drink.
