Corton Clos du Roi, Prince Florent De Merode 2002

Tasting Notes

Perhaps the ripest of these 4 Corton grands crus but it stops just short of any hints of surmaturité with expansive black fruit aromas that display an intensely soil-inflected character leading to very rich, full-bodied and powerful flavors of impressive depth and despite the robust tannins, they are completely buffered by buckets of sappy extract. This is not a particularly elegant wine but it's admirably long and offers excellent future potential.

90/92
