Domaine Prince Florent de Merode, Corton, Bressandes, 1981

Bright translucent scarlet laced with orange. Delicate, layered floral nose. Violets and dried roses with an undercurrent of mushroom duxelles. On the palate it is refined with a touch of wild strawberries mixed with a touch of tar and leather. The finish has a dusty, powdery feel from the tannins and then leaves a clean tart wild cherry flavor that lasts quite a while. Not a great vintage, but nicely done. Well balanced and elegant. A few years past its prime but quite lovely.
