2014 Corton Grand Cru

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Corton Grand Cru from Château de Meursault felt rather muddled and simplistic on the nose, with a puff of red fruit but little in the way of focus and harmony. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin and simple redcurrant and strawberry fruit leading to a chewy, not unpleasant but slightly ordinary finish. This seemed to be aiming higher when in barrel; here, it is adequate but lacking the extra spark. Tasted September 2017.
