There is a touch of reduction on the nose that blows off with a little aeration. It has fine complexity, quite broody compared to the 1993, moving firmly into secondary aromas of walnut, smoke and compost-like scents. The palate is fresh and vibrant with lanolin, hazelnut and dried honey on the entry. It demonstrates good weight and a nice grip, leading to a well-defined, spicy finish that leaves the mouth tingling. Tasted December 2012.

This grandly proportioned wine has crisp, vibrant fruit flavors ably supported by orange, pear, lemon and fig notes, with accents of spice, honey and butter from oak aging. Beautifully focused, silky in texture and long on the finish. Drink now to 1998. 725 cases made.??–null??Region: France / Burgundy / Corton-Charlemagne Select to Add
