Still a going concern, this suffers next to the more interesting and electric 2014 Niellon Vergers. Tastes like an old yet intact white wine, with a quiet bouquet, good body (almost shows the structure of a red), and a nice slightly acrid finish. Little complexity nor old-wine intrigue though. 89-90 pts.

Fully mature nose displaying subtle sweet yellow fruit, lemon curd, apple, oyster shell, brioche, sweet spices and mineral. Fully mature palate, nicely layered concentrated yellow fruit, good precise and balance, good acidity and oyster shell mineral, and a seamless long sweet yellow fruit driven finish with brioche and oyster shell at the end. Good showing.

Fully mature nose displaying sweet yellow fruit, baked apple, lemon curd, light caramel, oyster shell, sweet spices, smoke and steel. Fully integrated palate, nicely layered concentrated yellow fruit, dense, steely and deeply toned, medium acidity, and a long ripe concentrated yellow fruit driven finish with smoke and oyster shell at the end. The steely impression and oyster shell is interesting.

The wine was youthful with white flowers, tangerine peel, citrus, lemon oil and wet stone. It greatly benefitted from air as it unfolded its complexity. The acidity was profound, shaping up a very precise Corton Charlie.
