Domaine Faiveley Clos des Cortons Faiveley Corton Grand Cru 2011

Good deep red. A bit darker on the nose than the grand crus from Gevrey-Chambertin, offering explosive aromas of crushed raspberry, black cherry, exotic spices and a touch of smoke. Compellingly rich and seamless in the mouth, with terrific sappy verve to the urgent flavors of red berries, minerals and game. The very long, slowly rising finish boasts outstanding energy and thrust and saturates the mouth with sweet perfume. Score - 93-96. (Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Jan./Feb. 2013)
