Faiveley Corton Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru - 2010 (750ml)

(2010 vintage) "Of all the Grand Cru red wines of Burgundy, those from Corton are almost always the most affordable, so a look at the price of this wine might make you raise an eyebrow. But this thing is, a taste of the wine will get you to raise the other eyebrow as well. It shows outstanding depth and concentration for a Corton, with excellent intensity and persistence of flavor, but manages to do this without seeming weighty or over-ripe. There’s notable oak on the nose and mid-palate, but certainly not so much as to obscure the fruit or the savory and mineral notes as the wine finishes. Best after 2017, and a good bet to drink well until 2030.---- Michael Franz" - Wine Review Online
