91 A fresh ruby colour, lighter than most while retaining brightness. Dark raspberry fruit, quite reticent, evidently a minimally extracted style. Plenty of oak, but not too much for the fruit, an attractive coating of red fruit across the palate, with decent length. Drink from 2027-2038. Tasted: September 2024.
92-94 50% whole bunch. Fine powerful purple while the stems liven up the bouquet. This is showing by some way the best of the three Cortons, with a concentration of dark fruit flavour which works very well. Just a little white pepper at the back, and the fruit is certainly ripe, but the vinification style carries it through very successfully. Tasted: October 2021 - Jasper Morris
