Corton Le Rognet Bertrand Ambroise 1995

Domaine Bertrand Ambroise Corton Le Rognet 1995 is a full-bodied red Burgundy from the lieu-dit of Le Rognet in the Corton Grand Cru of the Côte de Beaune. "This wine (originally rated a 91-93 in Issue #111) is dark-coloured and boasts a nose of candied black cherries, sweet oak, cafe au lait, and butterscotch (!). This massive, powerful, thick, velvety-textured, vibrant, and full-bodied block-buster is crammed with super-sweet red and black fruit, blueberries, and mocha. Its intensely long finish reveals loads of supple tannins and strong toasted oak flavours. Out of barrel this was a hugely tannic wine, now it is elegant and focused - yet still muscular and fruit-driven." Wine Advocate, 1998
