2002 Pousse d'Or Corton "Clos de Roi"
A while back, I reviewed the 2002 Pousse d'Or Corton Bressandes which I really liked. I suppose you could call this a sister wine. This bottle was opened before its time. Wasted youth. It had deep layers and a creamy texture like the Bressandes but everything is packed more tightly together at this stage. Some very concentrated cherry and raspberry notes. Sexy mouth-feel. There was about a glass left in the bottle when the desserts arrived so I took it home. Although my tasting faculties weren't optimum at 7:30AM, it hadn't evolved a whole lot, but the aromas has opened a bit. I haven't had a lot of experience tasting Burgundys as they age so we'll see what happens. I probably won't come back to my other two bottles for a few years.
