Vincent Girardin, Corton Charlemagne Quintessence Size:6x750ml and assorted black fruits titillate(from Le Charlemagne in Aloxe). A wonderfully fresh nose combines notes of just sliced green apple and citrus confit with those of essence of dried flowers and a whisper of exotic tea. There is excellent punch and power to the larger scaled flavors that display a touch of muscle on the austere, serious and balanced finale. While the finish does flirt with rusticity, I suspect that this will gradually dissipate with bottle age.
