A completely different expression as this is much bigger and almost rugged in its power and intensity with minerality to burn and a very prominent acid backbone. The acid/fruit balance here is exceptional and the finishing persistence is equally impressive. Very firm and this too is nervous, almost edgy and there is a lot of underlying material together with palate staining intensity. Big, robust and makes a resolute statement and it's presently drinking more like a big red than a white. Extremely impressive and one of the best Corton Charlies of the vintage.
