(BH91-93 points) An expressive and appealingly complex nose of pepper, red currant, game, earth and dark berry scents is trimmed in a subtle application of oak. There is good intensity to the rich, robust and muscular big-bodied flavors that are shaped by markedly firm but ripe tannins before culminating in a mildly rustic, highly persistent and well-balanced finish. This very serious and muscular effort is impressive and should reward 12 to 15 years in a cool cellar.

(WA91-93 points) The 2014 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru clearly has the most ostentatious bouquet of the three Cortons from Louis Jadot with bold black cherry, red plum and bergamot aromas swarming from the glass. The palate is well balanced with good volume, a Corton of length, breadth and volume, though I might just prefer the finesse demonstrated by the Corton Grèves. If you like a little hedonism in your Corton however, go for this. - Neal Martin
