Tasting notes
Slightly musty on the nose. Fibrous and thick on the palate. I can't decide if this is still quite youthful, or if there's never going to be much complexity. There seems to be enough fruit, that's for sure. Meaty character on the finish hints that there might be more lurking beneath the surface. (RH)

Good dark red. Expressive, high-toned nose shows a leesy complexity to the aromas of cherry, flowers, soil and what Patrick Landanger called "blood peach." The palate offers uncanny energy and perfume, with sweet fruit lifted by spices and flowers. Lovely juiciness and class here. A wonderful Corton grand cru. Landanger did a much better job timing the harvest here than he did in 2012.
Deep ruby-red. Musky aromas of black raspberry, minerals, mocha and meat. At once suave and muscular in the mouth, with rich blackberry and cassis flavors framed and lifted by strong, well-integrated acidity. Energetic, precise and tangy Corton grand cru with firm tannic spine and excellent persistence.
