""This Corton has breathtaking vibrancy and tension, and it is only just beginning to reveal its treasure chest of stony minerality. However, in spite of having terrific structure everything already fits beautifully together on the super-focused palate. Very long, crystalline finish.""

" Moderate wood can be found on the ripe aromas of mostly plum and black currant with background hints of earth and the sauvage. There is again very good volume and solid concentration to the tautly muscular larger-scaled flavors that also coat the palate with dry extract on the youthfully austere, compact and firm finale. This well-made effort use better depth, which should reasonably occur."
