Neal Martin
The 2019 Corton-Rognet Grand Cru is quite strict and slightly ferrous on the nose, gradually opening with redcurrant and cranberry fruit, touches of orange blossom and pain d`epices. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, lightly spiced with white pepper and cumin. Modest depth, it feels nicely focused with a persistent saline finish. Very fine. 92-94 points

First to be picked. Ripe purple, heady more than heavy. A wealth of fruit, on the cusp of red and black, powerful (14.5%) but can manage it with just a touch of sucrosity. 92-94 points
