Note di degustazione
Dark, moderately saturated red. A touch of reduction currently mutes the aromas of redcurrant and leather. Sweet and creamy in the mouth, showing good vinosity and underlying minerality to the flavors of red and darker berries. But this very backward wine is not revealing much and its serious dusty tannins still need time to harmonize with the fruit. Does this have enough energy for the long haul?

Deep ruby-red. Very ripe but reticent aromas of smoke, mocha and incense, plus a piquant suggestion of blood peach. Very sweet and silky but still with a touch of reduction to the dark berry and violet flavors. Underlying minerality gives the palate good definition. Best today on the energetic, rising finish, which shows a delightful light touch.
The 2014 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru, from the domaine's 0.48 hectares of vines planted between 1956 and 1994, has a correct, foursquare, tertiary bouquet with touches of autumn leaves over the black fruit. The palate is nicely structured and welcoming on the entry, thanks to its supple tannin and well judged acidity. There is a touch of piquancy here as it fans out towards the finish with hints of black pepper and allspice; it is not a long Corton-Bressandes, but clean and detailed. I am intrigued how this will show in bottle.
