2011 DRC, Corton Grand Cru, Prince Florent de Merode 3x75cl

Vinous – 92

Good bright, full red. Pretty aromas of dark cherry and black raspberry lifted by a floral topnote. Round, sappy and succulent, showing a bit of youthful medicinal character to its dark fruit, mocha and licorice flavors. Finishes with good breadth, lightly dusty tannins and classic dryness. The team vinified with 60% to 70% whole clusters in 2011. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2014]
