The 2012 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is deep and tightly coiled, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, dark chocolate, grilled squab and coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, vibrant and concentrated, it's layered and incisive, with refined tannins, tangy acids and a long, mineral finish. This is one of the finest vintages of the decade for this bottling, and it is still a good handful of years away from maturity.
