1993 Corton Clos Rognet

A relatively elegant, stunningly complex and wonderfully layered nose that has now gone largely, if not completely, secondary in character as only remnants of primary fruit is in evidence though neither is there any sous bois yet either with notes of earth, game, spice and an interesting touch of something akin to well used leather that also permeates the detailed, pure and intensely minerally flavors that are impressively refined and strikingly long. The '93 is a Corton of finesse and while the tannic spine is not yet completely resolved, it's close and this could easily be enjoyed now though it should hold at this level for years to come.
