Tasting notes

The 2013 Corton Grand Cru, which sees around 50% new oak and had been racked in September, has a touch of sur-maturité on the nose, wisps of fresh prune infusing the black fruit. The palate is sweet and confit with ripe tannins, compact at the moment, but the new oak imposes too much toward the finish. Shame, because otherwise this could have been a Corton with finesse. Perhaps it will resolve that with time? We will see.
