2017 Thibault Liger-Belair Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru La Toppe au Vert
4/4/2024 - Indran Rajendra Likes this wine: 96 Points
A beautiful introverted feminine wine from Aloxe Corton.
Appearance:
Clear meniscus changing to brown-red and then dark red at the centre of the oval shaped surface of the wine in the tilted glass. The centre is semi-transparent with the ability to clearly see the hand held below the glass through the wine. Viscous white legs are seen running back from the top of the glass when tilted vertically. These findings are consistent with a 7 year old pinot based wine with an alcohol content indicated as 13%.
Bouquet
Immediately accessible from opening. A confined cloud of complex aromas exuding delicacy, gentleness evoking images of a field of flowers on a spring day. There are prominent notes of strawberry and gooseberries. There is also blackberries red cherries blueberries white flowers lavender licorice coffee grounds and a dustiness.
Palate
The structure is medium to full bodied with firm acid , moderate tannins and good length. The flavours reflect the aromas with addition of dark plum, white pepper mint and roses.
Technical
Bought at Langton's auction in Australia. Only a 2mm circle of wine at bottom of cork suggesting good cellaring. Bottle temperature around 14 degrees. Riedel Bordeaux glasses. Wine started to fade after 90 minutes post opening.

3/16/2024 - Indran Rajendra Likes this wine: 96 Points
Extroverted confident masculine Moutonesque Pauillac. Showing increasing aged characteristics since previous tasting a few years ago. The earlier concerns of a soft structure due to low acid appear to have resolved in this tasting. True to the Pontet Canet line and aging beautifully. One of the great wines of the world.
Appearance: Opaque with mahogany edge.
Big open bouquet from opening. Mushroom. Black cherries. Blueberries. Blackberries. Pencil shavings. Hession bag. Nutmeg. Cinnamon. Charcoal. Pepper, Milk coffee.Floral.
Soft slippery mouthfeel. Loads of soft tannins. Blackcurrant. Blackberry. Dark cherries,blueberries. mushroom. Mint tomato vine lemon grass. liver pate. sea shells. Cinnamon. Dusty. Pencil shavings. Cigar box. Charcoal.
Technical: Riedel Bordeaux glasses. Drunk at 15 degrees, Best from opening till 80 minutes when finished, May continue to improve.

Dark core.
Bouquet of mushroom dark cherries blueberries olives cigar box cafe au lait flowers.Nutmeg.
Palate has moderate to high tannins slightly low acid. Good length. Flavours as for bouquet.
Personality: more introspective than other Pontets but still masculine and more like a Latour than a Mouton
Technical: Riedel Bordeaux. Drinking temp 15C. Best from 15 minutes post opening.May be aging faster than other vintages.
