2013 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Corton Grand Cru
Description
The 2013 Corton Grand Cru was picked on October 3 at an average yield of 19.5 hectoliters per hectare. It has a light blueberry and crushed strawberry-scented bouquet that does not quite possess the intensity of the 2013 Echézeaux. There is a hint of fresh fig that emerges with time in the glass. The palate is clean and fresh. There is something almost "airy" about this Le Corton, with pitch perfect acidity and perhaps more transparency than I have observed in earlier vintages. It does not boast great density and fruit concentration on the finish, and perhaps it is just deprived the substance that a more benevolent season would have bestowed. Nevertheless, it is a delicious, almost easy-drinking little ingénue of a Corton that will give much drinking pleasure over the next 12-15 years. Production is 461 cases. Tasted February 2016.

Tasting note
2013年的DRC高登大瓶紅酒，展現了勃艮第葡萄酒的精緻與優雅。這款有機葡萄酒來自著名的高登大瓶葡萄園，擁有璀璨的紅寶石色澤，香氣中充滿了成熟的櫻桃、橙皮和一系列的草本植物與乾草香。隨著時間的推移，甘草和涼爽的灰燼味道逐漸顯現，為這款酒增添了更多層次。口感輕盈，紅色水果的風味清新可人，酸度鮮明，酒體從輕至中等，結構堅實，由細膩的單寧支撐。尾韻和諧，帶有血橙和微妙的鹹味。這款高登現已令人愉悅地易於接近，同時也有潛力在未來一到兩個十年內進一步演化。現在至2032年皆宜飲用。

On the palate, it dances lightly, revealing accessible red fruit flavors, a juicy and crisp character, fresh acidity, and a body that ranges from light to medium. The structure is solid, supported by well-integrated, fine tannins. The finish is harmonious, lingering with flavors of blood orange and a delicate salinity. While this Corton is already pleasantly approachable, it also possesses the potential to evolve beautifully over the next one to two decades. Enjoy now through 2032.
