  Impressive bottle of Corton in an otherwise disappointing line-up of wines.
  This has aged very nicely and could have aged further; confirming both the strength of the property and the 93 vintage.
  Still significant tannin structure, excellent core of olums, iron and spices. Excellent complexity and length.

  At Bite of Hong Kong
  
  Still quite structured and firm. This opens up with time with savory, ferrous, earthy, and meaty notes more than pinot fruit. There is a leafy herbal backend that I really like. Savory and a little stern, but starting to drink well, and I doubt it will fade before I do. A solid, structured more than graceful wine. But as someone said at the table, it is Corton and it is '93.

  Savory with brambly fruit. Wild and spicy and a bit of soy and brown sugar, sawdust. Savory some iron on the palate a little funky and rust on finish, finish falls off but the rest is very good. This was a step up from the 95 Ambroise Corton I brought. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 4.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17/20.

  Cellar clearance 2013 (our house): Quite a bit more impressive than my earlier bottle. A very youthful, primary bottle of Corton with very assertive dark raspberry fruit, some sappiness and a bit of pencil lead. Great acidity and plenty of body, this is certainly a masculine example of red Burgundy.
