Domaine Ponsot, Corton Bourdon Vintage:2013 A pungent nose of earth(a bourdon is a bumblebee). A markedly earthy nose features notes of very ripe dark currant, game and leather hints. Here too there is a lovely sense of energy and punch to the muscular but not really rustic broad shouldered flavors that also possess very good if not sensational mid palate concentration before culminating in a balanced and palate coating finish.
