The almost black-colored 1997 Corton-Renardes is even better than when it was tasted a year ago. It boasts a nose filled with sweet black plums and cherries. On the palate, it is ample, full-bodied, and coats the mouth with layers of super-ripe dark fruits, stones, and supple tannins.
Modern, very extracted and ripe. Smells like cherry compote, with flavors that are quite exotic, almost Rhône-like. Full-bodied and full of character, with good concentration, intensity and length.
