2001 Leroy Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Italian The aromas are tightly wound"This is the third time that I have tasted the Corton Charlemagne from Lalou Bize Leroy. Here, the nose is a little more reticent than the last bottle in early 2012, but it opens immediately to reveal that rich, almost honeyed aroma, though here I notice a slight kerosene like tincture. The palate is medium bodied, powerful and very well balanced with that core of spicy, honeyed fruit and a touch of glycerin on the weight finish." Wine Advocate
