Note di degustazione
Good dark red with ruby tones. Very ripe but brooding aromas of kirsch , menthol and crushed stone complicated by a minty nuance. Large-scaled and chewy on entry, then seriously mouthfilling in the middle palate, conveying a powerful impression of extract as well as terrific mineral energy to its very ripe dark fruit and impression of serious extract to its black cherry and dark berry fruit flavors. Already shutting down in bottle but the explosive finishing flavors are hard to scrape off the palate. This should be long-lived.

(13.9% natural alcohol, the highest in 2015; these 40-year-old vines were picked on September 8): Healthy dark red. Slightly subdued, distinctly dark aromas of black cherry and licorice. Fine-grained in texture, with pepper and herb notes lifting the dark cherry and black raspberry fruit. This rather uncompromising wine finishes with a subtle touch of sweetness and considerable savory appeal, but its serious tannic spine will require patience.
The 2015 Corton-Rognet Grand Cru has a fragrant bouquet with blackberry, raspberry preserve, crushed rose petals and just a hint of blood orange, quite sophisticated in style for a Corton-Rognet. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy tannin on the entry. This does not shortchange you on fruit: blackberry, raspberry and a pinch of white pepper, leading to a structured and quite grippy finish that like Taupernot-Merme's other 2015s, manages to retain impressive freshness and elegance. It has an incredibly long aftertaste, over a minute in the mouth and you can still feel this. Highly recommended.
Recently blended and racked prior to tasting. Rich and deep with good raciness. Lots of sweet fruit. Really structured and long. Very sophisticated. Lots of life. Dry end. (JR)
