Meals in France; 3/21/2022-3/26/2022 (France): Obviously very old, but perfectly clean. Fully mature fruit with lots of cooked mushrooms plus some leather and earth. Staying fun, enticing and vibrant through the hour+ in glass.

Vincent says a "tight" vintage. Considerable brick with sediment bottle open 24 hours. Earth, wet leaves, leather, tar but not stale or funky. Still some fresh fruit in the mouth, but it is thinning. This is enlightening!

Directly from Domaine Rapet. New label, but original cork. Incredible for a '76 Aloxe. Beautiful fruit, black tea, sous bois and expressive tertiary notes on the nose. Full bodied, yet elegant in the mouth. Still tannic! Not as complex in the mouth as on the nose. An excellent surprise and a beautiful bottle of old village wine.
