Now, here is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence because two people bought the 1929 Corton Blanc from Faiveley to the same event. The first was better than the second—you know the old adage, there's no need to repeat it. The better bottle was a marvel. It felt almost Riesling-like on the nose with dried honey, creme br?lée and dried quince on the muffled nose. The palate was surprisingly fresh, powerful, lightly honeyed with a spicy finish. What was so extraordinary was the detail that remained on the finish after so many years. A sign of provenance or an intrinsic virtue of the wine? Who knows as I will probably never taste it again! Tasted November 2016.
