2006 Domaine Faiveley, Corton Grand Cru, Clos des Cortons Faiveley 1x750ml

Vinous 92

Good deep red. Deep, complex nose offers red fruits, iron, cherry cola, exotic flowers and underbrush. Broad, sappy and mouthfilling, with an unusually lush texture for this cuvee at this early stage. Fine-grained and voluminous wine with captivating savory, earthy complexity. Finishes with very suave tannins and lovely length. This has the structure to age, but today I’m not finding quite the punch or iodiney minerality I found from barrel a year ago.
