Very spicy up front, with bright black currant and black cherry underneath. This is concentrated and chewy in texture now, with all the components in proportion, but needs time to integrate. Firmly tannic on the finish. Best from 2012 through 2022. 50 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Corton Select to Add

A finely perfumed wine, but one with a tight initial structure. Ripe wild strawberries and mulberries appear with dry tannins and spice from wood. The finish underlines that this is a wine for aging, with its structure and firmness. Keep for 4–5 years.——R.V.(12/31/2008)—— 92

Exhibiting all the ripeness and richness of an Aloxe-Corton, this wine revels in delicious raspberry fruits, topped with red currant acidity. The wine rolls around the mouth, with a velvet texture on top of some firm tannins. There is a complex sweet and sour aftertaste, as the ripe fruit combines with fresh acidity. ——R.V.(12/31/2008)—— 90
