Estimate
What a stunning fragrance this Corton has, with ripe damson, pomegranate and floral notes interacting in a very exciting way with the wild-herb notes. Very concentrated and focused, without any sense of weight, the finish incredibly vibrant and mineral. Really lifts off at the very long finish.
This aromatic red reveals rose, sandalwood, cherry and spice aromas and flavors, allied to a silky texture. Elegant and juicy, with terrific balance and a superlong, mineral-tinged finish.
Mingling deep fruit tones evocative of red cherries and plums with notions of loamy soil, licorice, orange rind, rose petals and sweet spices...full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with terrific concentration, tangy acids and a long, saline finish.
...quite a rich and outgoing bouquet, plenty of mulberry fruit here laced with touches of tobacco...palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, quite ripe and slightly confit towards the finish, generous but let’s see how long-term it is.
Smells of very small tangy dark-red wild berries. Fragrant and laced with vanilla sweetness. Oak is quite marked on the palate, with the tannins thickened by it. But it is full of fruit, the tannins polished. Generous, extremely moreish and balanced for the long term.
