This somewhat rustic effort is very Corton in basic character and a wine that's going to require patience

I clearly underrated the 1994 from my earliest barrel tastings

The old vines are very much in evidence as there is a true abundance of palate soaking dry extract that imparts a velvety mouth feel to the mid-palate and buffers the very firm tannins on the youthfully austere

Here the nose is similar to that of the regular cuvée save for the fact that the fruit is slightly riper and denser

it does not materially detract from the overall aromatic appeal
