WTN: 1990 Corton Cuvee Dr. Peste

[dlc]

This is unfortunately on its last legs. A lovely clear ruby color with some small amount of orange-brown at the rim. An aroma of ripe red fruit and that rush of sweet and stemmy and earthiness that shouts pinot. Then it starts to go downhill. The flavors are ripe but little backbone and the finish is short and very dry as the tannins last and the fruit doesn't. Six months ago this was in perfect example of Corton but has gone over the hill now.

This sounds more like bottle variation, a wine won't slide over the hill from good condition in only 6 months.
