"Subtle but not invisible oak easily allows the liqueur-like black cherry, spice, lavender and a whisper of dried mandarin orange peel to be appreciated. There is excellent density to the sleekly muscular and mineral-driven flavors that possess an even finer mouth feel while delivering notably better depth and length on the powerful and built-to-age finale. This is absolutely going to require extended patience but it should very much be worth the wait." - 92-94pts/Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound

"Here too there is a hint of menthol present on the notably spicier dark berry liqueur-like aromas that also display plenty of earth and game characters. The sleek and delicious middle weight flavors are slightly less concentrate and powerful though at the same time they're more obviously mineral-driven, all wrapped in an even firmer if not longer finale. While qualitatively similar, this and the Paulands offer two very different drinking experiences. Patience." - 91-93pts BH

"Firm reduction blocks an assessment of the nose at present. Otherwise there is good volume to the plump and round medium-bodied flavors that exhibit a subtle minerality on the nicely focused finale that offers acceptable depth and persistence. This isn't classic in style but it's appealing in its fashion." - 89-91pts Burghound

"The wood influence is a bit more prominent that it still remains relatively subtle and easily allows the spicy aromas of earth, lavender and red currant that evidence an interesting hint of tangerine peel to shine. The rich, intense and well-delineated medium weight flavors possess a positively gorgeous mouth feel while displaying outstanding persistence on the balanced finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. This is first-rate." - 91-93pts/Outstanding BH

2016  

"A slightly riper and definitely spicier nose offers up notes of essence of plum, violet and freshly turned earth. The rich, full-bodied and solidly powerful imposingly-scaled flavors once again brim with dry extract as the old vines are very much in evidence, all wrapped in a strikingly persistent finish. This is a relatively rare Corton that is clearly built for the long-term yet the richness and sap are such that this should also be approachable after only 5-ish years or so." - 92-94pts BH
