Here’s a delicious Aloxe-Corton (Village) wine from the Côte de Beaune region in the Côte d’Or of Burgundy. The 2018 Domaine Follin-Arbelet Aloxe-Corton.

👁️ This wine is pale ruby with flecks of garnet.

👃🏻 On the nose, it has medium(+) intensity of plush, fruit notes including ripe strawberry, raspberry, red plum, pomegranate, cherry, hibiscus, anise, licorice, mint, fennel, clove, nutmeg, vanilla, burnt caramel, wet leaves, and forest floor.

👄 On the palate, this wine is dry, with medium(+) acidity, a medium body, medium alcohol, medium tannins that are fine-grained and smooth, medium(+) intensity of flavors consistent with the nose. The finish is medium.

👍🏻 This wine is very good. The refreshing, medium(+) acidity lends balance to the ripe red fruit and sweet baking spice notes, while the robust, well-defined aromas and flavors have good (medium(+)) intensity. The nose and palate offer complexity with characteristics crossing clusters (red fruit, spice, earth, floral) and categories (primary, secondary, and tertiary). With a longer, more persistent finish, this wine would be outstanding.

🕰️ This wine is suitable for further bottle aging; the medium(+) acidity, and intense fruit profile, lends structure to hold this wine as additional complexity develops in the form of tertiary notes such as mushroom and earth.

Late post and low rating ONLY, and a personal thing, I opened it far too young. It was in a very aggressive phase with young-swelling acidity. Despite it's wonderful aromas and lovely flavors, it needs at least another decade. — 8 years ago

Warm aroma is coming out from my glass. This has already had vintage taste. Matured fruits but not simple fruity taste. Deep and complexity. ~full body Pinot noir. Lots of tanning but rounding. Earthy. Highly balanced. OK for non wine lovers. 2015 @2519, xiaduo - , 221216-230505 — 9 months ago
