Thibault Liger Belair, Corton Clos Roi Rouge Vintage:2016 There is a lovely mid-palate

There is a lovely mid-palate density to the vibrant

violet and pretty spice whiffs

Here too there is just enough oak influence to merit mentioning framing the elegant essence of poached plum

and sandalwood

Thibault Liger Belair, Corton Clos Roi Rouge Vintage:2016 There is a lovely mid-palate(30% whole cluster). A pure and very cool nose reluctantly reveals restrained notes of rose petals, red and dark berries that also flashes hints of the sauvage and freshly turned earth. There is outstanding richness and drive to the powerful and seriously intense broad shouldered flavors that possess excellent mid palate density thanks to the abundance of dry extract, all wrapped in a linear and robust finish. This serious effort is very impressive.
