particularly blue berry as well as notes of crushed herb

I would be inclined to drink the ’04 Corton over the first 10 years of its life (even though it will survive much longer) as I’m not sure that the fruit will ultimately outlast the structure

round and impressively scaled flavors possess excellent richness as well as plenty of wonderful tension before terminating in an explosive mineral-inflected finish that is quite firm and austere

Youthful and loaded with minerality and tannin

This is completely different and certainly attractive but I prefer the power and depth of the Corton in this vintage

Otherwise there is good freshness and verve to the detailed and intense middle weight flavors that possess better depth than most examples along with fine persistence. Worth a look.
