(Faiveley Clos de Cortons) Animalistic, mushroomy aromas lurk on the nose, followed by black cherry, coffee, and toffee on the long, long finish. Not for the faint of heart. Appellation: Corton

{Corton Clos des Corton tasting organized by JL at Black Cat} Complex aromatics with diverse attractive scents and some barnyard, deep fruit with iron and minerals, some earthiness but not at the level of Gevrey Chambertin. Not a gourmand wine of easy pleasure, somewhat challenging as well as rewarding. Still tough. Rated 90-91 at various times. Decanted at 3 pm, tasted ~ 7 pm in first flight of Clos des Cortons.

!998 Red Burgundy-Two Cortons (Yan's China Bistro, Walnut Creek, Ca.): Tasted with Mike, nose of earth and iron, same on the palate, rustic, crisper, and better finish but lacked depth, big body, and long, long finish.

What a contrast with the Fourrier. While that wine was lithe and elegant, this was still a touch rustic and unrefined. On the palate, acidity was a bit soft and tannin was a bit harsh. Nevertheless, very nice red fruit on the nose and palate. Not sure whether this will improve so much with age since the acidity seemed so low...might just become more rustic.
