Score 92-94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Highly aromatic nose combines pineapple, spiced apple, lime oil, nutmeg and mint; essence of Corton-Charlemagne. Thick with extract and wonderfully sweet, with powerful, thoroughly ripe fruit and terrific grip. Exhilarating sugar/acid balance. Youthfully unevolved but not hard. Finishes with superb palate-staining length rare for Corton-Charlemagne in this vintage. Should make an outstanding bottle.
