Tasting notes
The dark ruby-colored 1999 Corton-Renardes has a mouth-watering nose of jammy plums, violets, cookie dough, and sweet blackberries. This wine has magnificent depth, richness, and concentration. Syrupy red and black fruits are intermingled with candied cherries in this oily-textured, seamless wine's personality. This is a majestic Corton. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2014. Bottled under the Baron de la Charriere label and imported by European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949

Saturated ruby-red. Roasted blackberry, animal fur and nutty oak on the expressive nose. Sweet and rather accessible today, though it seems to slip by in the middle palate and spread out on the long, fairly tannic back end. Rustic and full of character, and totally different from the Bressandes.
