i am surprised this wine showed anything. faiveley's wines and especially the cortons normally need 15 years or more to show well. i have had ones that were 10 years old and were still not ready. i have also had ones that were over 15 that were excellent. difficult wines to judge early on.

After more recent experiences with FAiveley I would tend to agree with you.
