Svetovy duel vin Hustopece, 25.11.2017 — 7 years ago
Late post and low rating ONLY, and a personal thing, I opened it far too young. It was in a very aggressive phase with young-swelling acidity. Despite it's wonderful aromas and lovely flavors, it needs at least another decade. — 9 years ago
2024 June. Still quite young, but some air starts to reveal the layers of fruit, earth and spicy complexity — 4 months ago

The 2020 Corton Bressandes Grand Cru definitely has one of the more opulent bouquets in the flight, with lush black fruit laced with blood oranges and floral scents. Perhaps it is just missing a little delineation compared to the best in this flight, though that seems to manifest after ten minutes in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh, well-integrated oak. It's very harmonious, with a deft dash of black pepper on the finish. The 2020 is modern in style, maybe slightly roasted, but it just about works. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2024)
