1999 Le Corton Grand Cru, Bouchard Pere & Fils

“Medium red. Cherry, smoked meat, nuts, earth and roasted oak on the nose. Concentrated, serious and rather cool on the palate; large-scaled but uncompromisingly dry. Fairly powerful wine with noteworthy structure and depth. Finishes with big, dusty tannins and very good length. This will need at least six or seven years of aging.”
