Tasting notes
(destemmed): Bright medium red. Reduced nose hints at red berries and spices. Then juicy and penetrating on the palate, conveying lovely intensity and energy to the flavors of redcurrant, cherry and crushed rock. In a savory style, with moderate flesh. Juicy and imploded in the early going but the tannins are suave and the wine spreads out subtly to dust the palate on the back end.

The 2014 Aloxe Corton 1er Cru la Toppe Au Vert, which comes from purchased grapes, had a slight reduction on the nose that rendered it difficult to read. The palate is supple on the entry with red cherry and raspberry fruit; there is pleasant weight in the mouth but it needs a little more detail to come through on the finish, hence my conservative score.
