At nine years of age, this remains a brooding and introverted effort with a clearly sauvage-inflected nose of deeply pitched plum and a variety of purple fruit aromas that are liberally sprinkled with earth and spice nuances. There is excellent richess to the overtly powerful and robust big-bodied flavors that are dense and altogether serious, all wrapped in a complex and well-muscled finish that flashes a hint of warmth. A classic if ripe Corton built to age and it will definitely need it. Tasted thrice since 2015 with mostly consistent notes save for one bottle that displayed a whiff of brett.
