the 2012 is drinking beautifully today

To explain some of the many things I saw and learned from them

I would describe this as a success for the vintage

but that's not always a good thing

Thibault Liger Belair, Aloxe Corton Toppe Vert other_regions_italy the 2012 is drinking beautifullyStrong reduction. The vibrant and beautifully well detailed medium bodied flavors possess an almost pungent minerality and culminate in a linear, persistent and balanced finish. The finale is on the austere side and while this stops short of being strict, it would be fair to say that this isnt generous at present yet the underlying material is such that it should flesh out with a few years of bottle age.
