Still showing a substantial amount of new oak for this point in its life. Overall, rather fresh and youthful. Orange zest and light clove. Clove without any sparky/flintiness.

I had a very brief taste work last night. As ever, this wine is gorgeous, one of my most favourite. Good to go now but my previous experience says that this will be better still in a few years.

An hommage to Corton Charlemagne, 50% Pinot Gris, 40% Pinot Blanc and 10% Aligote. white grape aromas. Hildegard the wife of Charlemagne. shows some creamy texture and some oak aging. circus peanut on the palate.

Le Serbet/ Becky Wasserman's 35th Anniversary Celebration (Château de Sully - Southern Burgundy): It's been several years since I've had this wine from any vintage, but this glass reminded me what I always liked it. It's an unusual cepage, but Jim's hommage to Corton Charlemagne comes across as fat, rich, and slightly tropical, while still energetic and flowing. A very good value wine.

Snappy, some creaminess. A little flint. Barrel still present, in a mostly receded sense. As in, was some clove, a while ago...
