Ruby color. Nose full of fruit, spices and bacon fat notes. Palate loaded of fruit flavors, spices and is very complex. Will change constantly with air with a tighter finish, a sign that the wine is still young. Excellent+ (92)

Domaine Tollot-Beaut et Fils Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru 1999
Dark garnet with orange rim. Wild aromas of meat, of fern and berries. Seams a little harsh to me. Dense and complex mouthfeel with flavors of spices, small black berries and an enjoyable bitterness even if felt too serious (austere) and still structured. Tasted blind, I was thinking of an older Pommard wine. Very good (89)

Camille Giroud Corton-Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2010
Ruby and shiny color. Explosion of red berries in a festive blend of aromas of sweet strawberries, anise, light caramel and vanilla. Sappy but delicate with fine oak notes, flavors of red fruit, pepper and minerals. Felt quite opened at this stage which, beside how I like the wine saddens me. I would have expected a wine with more structure and ageing capacities which I clearly doubt about it now. I comfort myself by telling myself that I enjoyed it. Excellent (91)
