  (Boillot Henri Corton-Charlemagne) Not light colour - at least not when using the previous two as reference. Very ripe, honey on the nose. In the mouth it’s fat and concentrated - no obvious oxidation aromas or flavours - but not the zing, not the painful intensity and not the haunting finish of those first bottles - comment from winemaker friend #2: “you called me round just to taste this?” - ouch.

  (Boillot Henri Corton-Charlemagne) Deeply coloured for such a young wine, a shimmering gold. The nose has a creamy fruit-salad sense to it, almost brooding. The palate is a Charlemagne tour-de-force with it's upfront burst of flavour and stunning concentration - it was a challenge to drink the second glass - but I persevered!. Keeping the wine in your mouth brings thoughts of a stream gushing over rock, but if you need a respite and try swallowing you're in for a shock, it's like opening the curtains and letting in the sun as the finish unfolds with deep, creamy waves. Best young Charlie I ever tried - as if I haven't bought enough white wine already...
