Bertrand Ambroise, Corton Rognet Vintage:2002 Tasting Viña El Pisón 1998

Tasting Viña El Pisón 1998 twenty years on is a firm reminder that far too many wines are drunk too young

but the wet-stone and lime character in the finish already makes it plain how great this wine is

At least some patience will be necessary if you wish to enjoy this at its peak

90% was vinified in stainless with 10% in new oak followed by an élevage in 1 year old wood)

The finer medium-bodied flavors also possess a seductive mouthfeel thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that buffers the very firm tannic spine supporting the lingering finale where the only nit is a hint of warmth
