Tasting note: A relatively elegant, ripe and airy nose combines notes of red cherry, raspberry, earth and a pretty spice wisp. The rich and full-bodied flavors evidence very good power on the firmly structured, complex and impressively persistent finish. This too is old school in style, though not especially rustic, and like the Corton is built-to-age.
