Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 12 Dec 23
The 2019 Corton Les Grandes Lolières Grand Cru has a very perfumed bouquet with ebullient red fruit, sloes, marmalade and light minty scents. It could have toppled over and become a bit overdone, but it actually/thankfully retains composure and precision. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with sappy red fruit, white pepper and clove, gently building in the mouth to a powerful yet delineated, if slightly bitter, finish. I feel that decanting would have benefitted this greatly. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
