tea and also a wisp of sandalwood

Once again the nose is masked by notes of wood toast

The flavors are dark and plodding

lovely fruit and firm

The main message here is elegance and this wine is profoundly eloquent on the subject

Domaine Michel Mallard, Aloxe Corton Toppe Vert Vintage:2021 tea and also a wispModerately generous wood sets off the cooler and reserved nose that blends notes of both red and dark currant aromas that are liberally cut with earth and forest floor elements. There is fine richness and concentration to the powerful and muscular big bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract that contrasts somewhat with the long but somewhat lean finish.
