From a bottle purchased early on, this wine looked great with a deep yellow center ad clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose took a while to come around. It showed citrus, white stone, and a little smoke. It still seemed a bit tight but was certainly in the zone.
As you would expect for a 96, this wine was quite crisp which covered up the fact that it was also rich and fruit driven. It had excellent length.
This was surprisingly good and verging on 95 points. It would probably have gotten there if I had given it 5 hours of decanting instead of only 3.
Impressive.

Drank even better than last time. Needed about 30 minutes to fully wake up. Dynamic and nutty, deep, but still great acidity and tension. Lovely mature Burg.

This one smoked. The color was so intact, so lively, popcorn, nutty, dynamic lemon and acidity with floral backdrop, immense length. Wow.

Delicious - especially given its age. Complete, late-peak, but still so delicious and so Corton Charlemagne. Yum!

Peaches, lemon zest, licorice; smooth, rich, full, fruitful, almost a mild effervescence; somewhat usual but very good indeed
