Reviewed February 2018I'm amazed! This is extremely fresh with orange zest and smoky notes, as well as intense cherry aromas. With its stunning concentration and vitality, this could wake the dead! A great and dynamic expression of this unique terroir that could be drunk now, but it also has a huge future ahead of it.

Burghound
An extremely ripe nose manages to avoid any sense of surmaturité on the liqueur-like aromas of black cherry, cassis, anise and lilac scents. This is a massive wine, with huge mid-palate concentration, power and muscle that terminates in a borderline painfully intense finale that both coats the palate and lasts for minutes. I take considerable pains to point out however that this ultra-structured and overtly austere effort is not only built for the long haul but for the very long haul. I have suggested an initial drinking window of 30 years from now but it may very well be longer. In sum, this brilliant effort is very old school Corton that I wouldn't even consider opening for at least 10 years.

Vinous
Impressively deep saturated red. Brooding aromas of black cherry, dark berries, licorice, minerals, rose petal and violet. Hugely rich, chewy wine with compelling sweetness and mineral verve to its flavors of black cherry, licorice and dark chocolate; totally mouthfilling without coming across as heavy, with its incipient soil tones currently masked by totally ripe fruit. A monster of a Burgundy with the thickness and sheer extract to nicely carry its huge, sweet tannins, which saturate the front teeth and sides of the tongue. The finish builds inexorably. Fun to taste now but it would be a crime to drink this wine anytime soon. In fact, it shut down hard in the glass. (ST)

Wine Advocate
The 2015 Corton Grand Cru Clos des Cortons Faiveley is going from strength to strength, unfurling in the glass with a lavish bouquet of sweet red berries, cherries, licorice, spices, candied peel, raw cocoa and grilled game bird. On the palate, it's full-bodied, satiny and succulent, with a deep and concentrated core, ripe but abundant tannins and juicy acids, concluding with a pure, elegantly chalky finish. While it will only improve with bottle age, it's showing more of its cards than it did a year ago. (WK)
