Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The 2011 Corton Clos du Roi has a voluminous and generous bouquet with quite copious brambly red berry fruit that is nicely integrated with the oak. The palate is soft and very smooth in the mouth, however, those supple tannins deserve more complexity and nuance on the rather monochromatic finish, as if it presumed the job was done prematurely. There are better 2011s from this domaine.
