Decanted for 3 hours, and then bottled for 2 more before tasting on zoom. The nose was rustic, and more about the earthiness, sous bois, and a lovely sandalwood, and less about the red fruit (which were evident and lovely). Palate certainly shows the producer's love of oak (and perhaps stem?), with structure and more rusticity.

VVW tasting. Beautiful nose of red fruits, sandalwood and spice. The stems and oak spice combine for a very alluring nose. The palate starts off very 14 with bright approachable red fruits and a silky saline texture. With air this firms up and becomes more clenched and tannic. Very strong wine from a vintage that I love.

Hands down the best Corton I’ve had. Intoxicating nose with spices and stems. Better than Corton from DRC.
