Neil Beckett | Deep, lustrous ruby. A very enchanting nose. Black-fruited and fully ripe, good depth, but very good freshness, minerality, purity, and vitality as well (the rigor and vigor coming from the Grèves and Perrières climats in this complete and rounded blend); light licorice and spice, more from the terroirs than the wood, which at 50% new is well- integrated. An exceptionally fine grain to the tannin, which renders this unusually supple, but there is still sufficient graceful supporting structure, and a fresh, flourishing, long-lasting finish. A compelling, richly satisfying Château Corton-Grancy. | 93–94
