Corton Bressandes, Domaine Ponsot 2013

A brooding and reticent nose only grudgingly reveals aromas of plum, dark currant, game, earth and underbrush hints. There is excellent volume and intensity to the muscular and broad-shouldered flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a powerful, focused, mineral-inflected and moderately austere finish. This is quite firmly structured and like most examples of young Corton this will need 12 to 15 years to be at its best.
