palate-staining red fruit and floral pastille flavors show impressive depth and heft

and spicy new oak

7% Petit Verdot completes the blend

A discreet touch of reduction still allows the earthy red berry and black cherry aromas to express themselves

rustic and bitter cherry-inflected finish that is a bit clipped

Domaine Ponsot, Corton Bourdon Size:6x750ml palate-staining red fruit and floral(a bourdon is a bumblebee). A markedly earthy nose features notes of very ripe dark currant, game and leather hints. Here too there is a lovely sense of energy and punch to the muscular but not really rustic broad shouldered flavors that also possess very good if not sensational mid palate concentration before culminating in a balanced and palate coating finish.
