Corton Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2009
A quite densely fruited nose delivers real complexity as well as elegance with mostly floral notes to the otherwise ripe green apple and stone aromas. There is excellent richness to the full-bodied, serious and textured broad-shouldered flavors that possess an abundance of palate staining extract that culminate in a focused, powerful and explosive finish. This is terrific and should improve for up to a decade.
