vibrant wild berry fruit and lively acidity to match

concentrated yet impressively refined wine with plenty of inner mouth perfume as well as an abundance of palate coating old vine sap that serves to cushion the still quite firm tannic spine on the strikingly persistent finish

in fact it’s borderline massive and not surprisingly it’s going to need a very long time to arrive at its full potential

This may ultimately come together but as with the Cazetiers and Clos de Vougeot

One of my favorite wines

Vincent Girardin, Corton Charlemagne Blanc other_regions_italy vibrant wild berry fruit and(from Ladoix fruit). A ripe and vaguely exotic nose grudgingly reveals its aromas of orange peel, green apple, white peach and a whiff of jasmine tea. The dense, muscular and powerful big bodied flavors exude a bracing salinity on the mouth coating, clean and dry finish that is firm and borderline rustic. This will need at least some patience and reward a decade plus of bottle aging.
