2017 Domaine de L'Arlot Les Suchots, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, France 750ml

An exuberantly spicy nose flashes notes of Asian-style tea, black cherry and sandalwood, all of which is trimmed in noticeable oak influence. Here too there is a lovely texture to the equally succulent, round and sappy flavors that coat the palate and particularly so on the moderately austere and slightly warm finale that displays sneaky good length. This impressive effort is shaped by fine-grained tannins and overall, this is very Vosne in style.
