Note di degustazione
The 2018 Le Corton Grand Cru has an upfront, ripe red cherry and crushed strawberry nose that feels a little monotone against its peers, perhaps due to some Brettanomyces. It would benefit from more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannins, mealy and a slightly attenuated towards the finish. This is a perplexing showing. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Le Corton Grand Cru has turned out very nicely in bottle, offering up a deep and complex bouquet of cassis, wild berries, grilled meats, black truffle, blood orange and sweet forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's layered and concentrated, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, sapid finish. While this is a powerful, structured wine, it's also very refined, and this is one 2018 that will offer a broad drinking window.
Naughty heavy bottle. Focused, dusty and earthy cranberry fruit. Precise and chiselled palate, with lovely fluidity and a long, floral finish. Likely to be ready earlier, but to give lots of pleasure. Elegant burgundy. (TJ)
