Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There is a lot of oak on the nose of Tollot-Beaut’s Corton Grand Cru ‘11, which here seems to smother the fruit behind it. The palate is ripe on the entry with smudged red berries and spice, although the finish is missing tension and personality. It has commercial appeal, but at the moment that emerges through the cooperage rather than the terroir.
