Antonin Guyon Corton Clos du Roy Grand Cru 2013

There is a subtle but not invisible application of wood to the less elegant but even more complex nose of game, forest floor, plum and earth that also lacks a touch of freshness. The powerful and broad-shouldered flavors possess excellent mid-palate density while displaying plenty of minerality on the youthfully austere and backward finish that is well-balanced and impressively long. In the same fashion as the Bressandes my range awards the benefit of the doubt that the lack of freshness presently displayed by the nose will eventually return to form. Drink: 2025+. Score - 91-94.
