2019 Corton Les Perrieres

The 2019 Corton-Perrières Grand Cru has a dense, opulent bouquet of black cherries, cassis and touches of cinnamon. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, and less mineral than previous vintages. The warmth of alcohol (15.3° – the highest of the domaine’s) is noticeable on the finish, albeit not as overpowering as that figure might imply. I will be perhaps unfairly cautious with my score because I would like to see how this turns out in bottle.
