Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2010Relatively strong reduction dominates the nose at present and prevents a thorough assessment. By contrast, there is good freshness and ample verve to the exceptionally rich, powerful and borderline massive flavors that enjoy support in the form of a very concentrated mid palate and a notably firm tannic spine that imparts a chewy texture to the hugely long, mouth coating and tannic finish. This is breathtakingly good though like any self respecting

The focus and penetration here ranks among the finest that I have tasted at this estate since first coming here in 1997

the palate is fresh and clean with herbal sparks and a slight chew to the texture

The 2014 Brane-Cantenac has a very classy bouquet
