Philippe Pacalet, Corton Bressandes Vintage:2017 an approach that worked beautifullyThis is the first wine to display any material amount of reduction and here its enough to overshadow the fruit. Otherwise there is fine freshness to the big bodied and muscular flavors that are at once rich and quite serious, all wrapped in an austere if long finish. This needs to develop more depth but the underlying material appears to be such that it should in time. (90 93) 2029+
