Tasting notes

This was a refreshing and great bottle of Corton-Charlemagne that has held up very fine. The nose is incredible. In the mouth it is fine, refreshing and shows perhaps a that little lack of concentration that tells the vintage was not perfect. Light amberish colour. Fine and complex nose. Mineral, citrusy and flowery. A touch of wool and with air more and more nuts. Incredible depth. You never reach the bottom in this one. Fullbodied wine in the mouth. Mature and fine fruit. Nutty and mineral. Could perhaps have a greater concentration. Oak is fully integrated. Fine acidity and quite refreshing style. Good length. With air it shows some nuts in the finish. A grand vin.
