" 91-93 Points from Parker's Wine Advocate: Spicy stones can be discerned in the aromatics of the 2002 Corton-Charlemagne. Light to medium-bodied, fresh, and revealing impressive depth as well as concentration, it displays liquefied rock, pear, and apple flavors throughout its lengthy character. Notes of roasted herbs and minerals make their presence felt in its long, suave finish." (Rovani, 02/04)In spite of the fact that Allen Meadows was tasting a recently bottled example, which was not showing at its best, he gave it 92 Points, saying: "(100% from vines in Aloxe and all domaine fruit). This didn't show very well the day I was chez Latour as it was clearly tired and there was quite a bit of unabsorbed SO2 on the nose. Still, the underlying material is so strong that it doesn't require a great deal of imagination to see where this will be in a year or two. Despite the bottling fatigue,this is still a very powerful, deep and sappy wine with intense minerality and a long finish." (Burghound, 07/04)"
