Chateau Meursault, Corton Rouge other_regions_italy The 2011 Barca Velha(from Les Vergennes and Rognets). A pungent nose of wood and reduction dominate the underlying fruit today. Otherwise the round and velvet textured flavors possess both good volume and excellent richness, all wrapped in a mildly austere and reasonably well balanced finish that offers good if not exceptional complexity. There is a hint of warmth but its not intrusive and overall this is a relatively forward Corton that could be enjoyed relatively young
