balanced and solidly complex finish

but this is still very attractive

Personally

powerful and unusually robust on the refined

Larner vineyard (Ballard Canyon) and Harrison-Clarke vineyard (Ballard Canyon)

Philippe Pacalet, Corton Bressandes Vintage:2017 balanced and solidly complex finishThis 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+
