wild fennel flowers and saffron on the nose

Cherry and blackberry aromas rise to the front with lingering tones of smoke

wood frames the even spicier aromas of liqueur-like red and dark berry fruit

The persistent finish shows severe tannins

Best from 2023 through 2035

Domaine Michel Mallard, Corton Renardes other_regions_australia wild fennel flowers and saffron(from a . 75 ha parcel). A slightly more deeply pitched and earthier nose reflects plenty of floral influence along with wood and menthol hints. The is a beguiling texture to the tension filed, detailed and more mineral driven broad shouldered flavors that also conclude in a firm, serious, austere and moderately rustic finale. This is very Corton in character and a wine thats going to need extended keeping before it will be ready for prime time.
