Showing a bit of age, with some orange tinges, but in a very good place. Medium-full body with strength balanced with elegance. Smooth and with good balance. Particularly pleasing was the bright cherry fruit. No let down on the finish. A-

(Blind tasting) Full, spicy, immediate nose. Walnuts, chocolate and slightly animaly. Also hints of indish spices. Mature and a bit funky and rough. Gently oaky. Medium-fullish, intense palate. Pinot in the masculine school. Good, dynamic tannins. Sweet liquorice, dark fruit and chocolate (!). A bit four-square and robust (Corton?) I have not been impressed by Tollot-Beaut during the last few years, but this was a good bottle. Tasty, but also a bit disjointed. The vintage is a Winner.

Solid classic Corton - ripe strawberry flavors predominate, with a solid tannic backbone - positioned for long life - previous tastings did not reveal the fruit present here

Small taste, brief note. Certainly mature, probably too mature for Corton at this age, but fun and pleasurable today. Drink up.

Not complex, but beautiful and balanced. Bigger than I thought it would be. Should hit its stride in 3-4 years.
