(WA92-93+ points) From an eastern exposure, the Prieur 2006 Corton-Charlemagne delivers lime, tangerine, herbs, and chalk dust on the nose; saturates the palate with chalk, salts, citrus oils, and resinous herbs; and finishes with impressive force, meaty, almost red wine-like depth, and impressive, implacable stoniness. This should be worth following for a decade or more, and even the very short term may well reveal further details, as well as dissipate a slightly leesy, lactic note that still clung to it when I last tasted. The gorgeously-scented, honeyed and yet adamantly stony 2005 displays similar complexity, concentration, and potential. - David Schildknecht
