2005 Bouchard Pere et Fils - Le Corton Grand Cru

$150.00



Wine Review

Description: A brooding nose with almost no discernable wood influence of very ripe and moderately earthy aromas where the earth continues onto the rich, ripe and impressively dense flavors that also are textured and palate drenching supported by buried yet relatively fine tannins that are rendered almost completely invisible by the superb level of dry extract. This is a big bad boy fashioned in classic old school Corton style with huge aging potential. -Burghound 93-95 points

Dark red. Wild black cherry and smoked meat on the rather closed, medicinal nose. Then almost surprisingly fat and sweet in the mouth, with a fine grain and intriguing suggestions of toast and gingerbread. This is still quite closed but its volume is already impressive. Finishes with substantial fine, dusty tannins and a minty austerity. Evolving very slowly and tricky to judge today.
