The bing cherry, candied strawberry, and jammy black raspberry-scented 1999 Corton-Bressandes is a fresh, medium to full-bodied wine. It has loads of depth to its broad-shouldered, highly structured character. Loads of sweet tannin are present, yet this wine appears to have more than enough fruit to sustain it. Projected maturity: 2005-2012.
