Corton “Clos du Roi” Grand Cru Reviews

GOLD

A markedly floral nose features notes of spice, game, smoke, anise, wood and pure essence of
red berry fruit. The rich, powerful and imposingly-scaled flavors exude plenty of minerality on the muscular, intense and
complex finish that isn’t really rustic though the supporting tannins are right at the margin of being fully ripe. I suspect that this
will harmonize acceptably well if given a few years but my suggested drinking window is shorter than it would normally be as
the balance isn’t perfect.
 

Good bright red. Ripe, sexy, slightly liqueur-like red fruits complicated by smoke and minerals. At once silky and penetrating, delivering excellent depth to its flavors of raspberry, game and earth. Finishes saline and reserved, with excellent cut and subtle length.
