Château Corton Grancey Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Tad tired from good vintage

This one started out with lean fruits and a fair amount of dry earth. But, after two hours in the decanter, put on weight, body thickened with creamy texture, dark currants, dark chocolate, soft baking spices with soft minerality, moist forest floor earthiness and withering dark flowers. Ended well with our dessert of dark chocolate and strawberries.

Thank you Christina for sharing this Grand Cru Burgundy with us.

Delicate, floral, and just plain pretty.

Musty but did not seem corked. Then opened nicely before reverting to musty again. Strange trip. The middle part was nice...

Oxidized

pretty floral w earthy aromas ~ deep fruit w savory flavors and an astringent finish

Elegant, delicate.

Blueberry, juniper berry, pomegranate seed. Alfalfa mid palate to sour milk finish. Robust tannins still holding wine together.

Brown sugar - like jumping on a trampoline, one jump too many.!Thought new world, maybe RR - the POB folk might be fooled! Good drink none the less - a treat with smoked brisket from a southenoiur!

Felt a bit tired and oxidised at first, but really opened up with red and dried fruits. Quite intensely flavoured and very good with a rich duck dish. (1998)
