Corton Charlemagne--Vintage 1996
Côte de Beaune, Verget
"A knock out and still very fresh nose of limestone, earth, citrus and white flowers complements well defined flavors that are now beginning to fill out yet remain admirably precise with superb elegance and driving, indeed even penetrating acidity. The nose now displays the beginnings of secondary development and while the flavors remain youthful, they too are no longer the block of minerality they once were. This should live for many years to come as it is a powerful, elegant and well-balanced wine. In sum, this is a classic Corton-Charlemagne in both style and character. Tasted many times with consistent notes." BH, Dec 10, 2006
