Domaine Rapet Père et Fils
Aloxe-Corton Pinot Noir
Aloxe-Corton, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Dark robe, hint of reduction, bosky, black-fruited, plummy on nose, framed by a hint of spice. Palate is ripe black cherry, earth, medium tannins, baking spice, hint of iron. Medium-bodied, good persistence, medium-long finish, plenty of grip. Seems like there's a bit coiled within. Re-buy, but but hold for 5-8+ years to see if fruit to earth ratio becomes something more exciting. This is quite good now; probably upside

Mid-weight and pretty. A little tight; decanting helped. Great bang for buck.
