Allen Meadows Burghound 95

2009 La Pousse d'Or Corton-Clos du Roi (France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru) Burghound, 5/1/2011, May 2011, Allen Meadows (web) 95 As is typically the case, this is earthier and much more sauvage than the Bressandes though it retains good freshness and pinot noir character. The nose speaks primarily of plum and floral aromas that are in keeping with the sappy, rich, powerful and broad-shouldered flavors that drench the palate with dry extract on the very firmly structured and hugely long finish. This should be a great wine in time. (drink starting 2027)

Stephen Tanzers International Wine Cellar 92

2009 Domaine de la Pousse D'Or Corton Clos du Roi Bright deep ruby-red. Wild, very ripe, soil-driven aromas of kirsch, licorice, minerals, mocha and espresso. Large-scaled, chewy and rich, with very ripe flavors of plum, black cherry and torrefaction saturating the palate. Finishes with huge but ripe and noble tannins that reach the front teeth and terrific length. This will need at least five years of bottle aging. The percentage of new oak used for this cuvee is now down to 40%. 92
