Domaine Faiveley Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons 2017 (Ex-Domaine) A000001435 Leoville Las Cases Cabernet SauvignonAn intensely earthy nose is comprised by notably ripe dark currant aromas that are cut with underbrush, spice and a whiff of wood toast and the sauvage. There is an attractive freshness and plenty of vivacity to the velvet textured full bodied and overtly muscular flavors that possess terrific punch on the beautifully long, youthfully austere and notably firm finish. I like the overall sense of complexity and this too should age effortlessly.
