Louis Jadot, Corton Clos Roi Vintage:2016

Louis Jadot, Corton Clos Roi Vintage:2016A more deeply pitched and slightly spicier nose reflects plenty of earth and sauvage characters to the dark berry aromas that are trimmed in soft wood nuances. There is even better size, weight and power to the once again seriously muscular flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the imposingly structured finish that is sneaky long. This too is potentially excellent but it would be absolutely pointless to buy it without an express intent to cellar

Vigna del Sorbo has a great track record for aging

cherry preserve

I was visiting them with a group of Portuguese wine producers a decade ago

Youthful and loaded with minerality and tannin

A slightly riper and more complex nose of very earthy and slightly sauvage dark berry fruit aromas set of by a touch of wood spice leads to dense and attractively textured medium-full flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel and I like the subtle sense of harmony as this is balanced

raspberry and a whiff of cranberry

it will get a bit better

In this vintage

This is already lovely and if it develops better depth with time in bottle it could well achieve the upper end of my projected range

Long and spicy

it’s awfully light for a grand cru
