Corton Clos du Roi, Domaine Chandon de Briailles 2005

A spicy, ripe, and expressive nose features distinct floral notes amongst the red and blue berry fruit but the big and robust flavors are understated and backward as well as intense, structured and mouth coating on the explosive and powerful finish. This is built to last seemingly forever though the fifteen years I suggest here is a minimum. Note: this has the highest average age of the grands crus at 35+ years of age
