The 2009 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is really blossoming with a decade of bottle age, offering up expressive aromas of sweet red cherries, forest floor, cassis, espresso roast, dark chocolate and grilled meats, framed by a deft touch of cedary new oak. Full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it's textural and complete, with lively acids and a pure, precise finish. Of all the wines in this tasting, the 2009 is the most head-turning and immediate at this stage. - William Kelley
