Philippe Pacalet, Aloxe Corton 1er Cru other_regions_italy with much less oak(mostly from Valozires). Once again there are plenty of floral characteristics adding a touch of elegance to the otherwise distinctly earthy and gamy aromas of dark currant and plum. The robust and muscular broadshouldered flavors possess a lovely mid palate texture that contrasts somewhat with the rustic, serious and built to age finish. This is quite good but a wine for those who can buy and forget they own it. (90 92) 2029+
