Dark garnet color, sweet strawberry-raspberry, and cola aromas buttressed with earthy undernotes that evolve to more complex sandalwood and spice. Supple plum and red cherry compote flavors that are succulent, yet not particularly complex, that pair well with even spicy foods (the earthiness was perfect with salmon). A mature wine with everything harmoniously in place and in its prime enjoyment window.

Dull ruby. Reticent aromas of pine and smoky red fruit. Like many 2002's, relatively supple and open with ripe red fruit and a thin layer of earth. Most appealing for its freshness, lively fruit, and glycerine feel, but honestly, this was somewhat anonymous and soft without the grip or presence of Grand Cru wine. Modern style.
More char and soil after being recorked overnight. Still resin from the wood. Very good but too polished for Corton.

Reddish brown in color. Menthol, leather notes, stewed plums All tertiary notes. Finesse wine. Last glass was the best. Should have decanted this bad boy. Nice wine.

The colour is just about where you would expect it for 18 years old Corton, pale cherry red. Red cherry and raspberry nose with blue plum and just a touch of wood. Balance palate, intense flavours with fruit sweetness and acidity, Balanced long finish.

A real treat. More red than black...evolved over an hr...could have been better with a little more air, but so good with steak, it was gone...
