The 2001 Corton is deep in color. It has a refined nose with plenty of black fruit some dried blood and a touch of cola. The palate is medium-bodied and quite masculine. The acidity has become accentuated with age and it tapers dramatically toward the finish. Jean-Charles le Bault de la Moriniere is crafting superior red Corton nowadays, but this is still a respectable, if unexciting, Burgundy. Tasted January 2014.
