Displaying fresh butter, minerals, and candied lemon scents, the Corton-Charlemagne is a profoundly rich yet structured wine. It is intense, highly concentrated, powerful, full-bodied, refined, and beautifully delineated. Baked apples, kiwis, stones, and hints of mango are found in this beauty's flavor profile and throughout its impressively long finish. While it is a delight to drink now, this is one of those rare 1997s that is likely to be better with a few years of cellaring.
