2005 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Magnum (1.5L)

This is the first wine that reminds me a bit of the older Colin style as there is more noticeable toast elements coupled with hints of vanilla that serve as background notes for the green fruit, white apple and pear aromas that merge into big, textured and notably ripe big-boned flavors that feel almost opulent as the texture and mid-palate fat render the acidity almost invisible. This is a big and very rich wine that is impressive through sheer size and weight though it's not necessarily better than the Perri?res.(a 50/50 blend of Pernand and Aloxe) Drink: 2011+??(7/2007)
