The 2013 Corton Clos de Roi Grand Cru has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with black cherries, briary and forest-floor scents gently unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and showing a little bit of new oak at the moment, although that will be assimilated by the time of bottling. There is good substance here, the acidity nicely judged and the primal finish has good persistence in the mouth. This will be worth checking out once in bottle.
