Corton Clos des Cortons, Domaine Faiveley 2001

Brilliant ruby. A beautifully fresh nose displays lovely layered with only a hint of secondary character to the pretty and quite spicy aromas that derive mostly from the red side of the fruit spectrum. The sleek, delicious and attractively vibrant middle weight flavors possess a taut muscularity and evident minerality on the still overtly robust, serious and tannic finish. Unlike many '01s today that are at or near their peaks, this admirably complex effort remains fairly youthful with a moderate amount of structure still to resolve.
