The 2000 Corton-Charlemagne Mise Speciale bursts from the glass with fresh apples and toast aromas. Ripe and rich pear-like flavors can be found in its medium-bodied, youthfully tight character. It is somewhat austere, like many Cortons in 2000, yet beautifully delineated. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2010.
