nice for comparison for our Corton tasting. a large producer v’s small. broad, nice fruit. meaty and bing cherry nose. firm tannins- def could use a few more years.

Picked it up during a visit to Singapore, and this was on the monthly store promotion. Pop and poured. Medium ruby. Nose quite restrained, and just a bit more than a small hint of red and black fruits even after 2 hours of being opened. Probably closed down for now. The palate seems to lack weight of a grand cru label, quite dry, herbaceous and lacking the fruit. Big tannins though. The oak is there; a bit too much and overpowering the fruit. Probably better to cellar at least another five years to see the improvement. 89
