Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There is a lot of oak on the nose of Tollot-Beaut’s Corton Grand Cru ‘11, which here seems to smother the fruit behind it. The palate is ripe on the entry with smudged red berries and spice, although the finish is missing tension and personality. It has commercial appeal, but at the moment that emerges through the cooperage rather than the terroir.

An attractively layered nose offers up notes of violet, plum, smoked meat hints and plenty of warm earth character to the wild dark berry fruit aromas. There is excellent volume to the ripe, intense and powerful large-scaled flavors that exhibit fine intensity on the powerful, balanced and vibrant finish that delivers its usual fine length. This isn't quite a robust as it usually is though it's a big wine all the same and will require an extended cellar siesta. Tasted: Apr 15, 2013. Drink: 2023+
