Henri Boillot Corton Charlemagne 1.5ltr
| Vintage: | 2014 |
|---|---|
| Description: | from vines on the Aloxe side, which suffered only minor hail damage): Pale yellow. Musky, reduced nose suggests a tannic wine, offering hints of flint and petrol. Then superconcentrated and tactile but bone-dry, conveying a powerful impression of dry extract. Boasts terrific inner-mouth energy but this wine is very tightly coiled today, with its fruit totally hidden. The very long, slowly building finish is lifted by a spicy perfume. Should make a superb vin de terroir. Tanzer/Vinous 93-95. (100% from Aloxe fruit in Le Charlemagne). Mineral reduction and lime hints add breadth to the lilac, green apple and tangerine skin-suffused aromas. There is seriously impressive size and weight to the dramatically powerful, rich and concentrated big-bodied flavors that possess obvious muscle and simply fantastic length on the overtly austere, deep and palate staining finish. This is a chiseled and sleekly powerful effort that should also be capable of aging effortlessly for years. Burghound 95/2026+ |
