2016 Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml) [Slightly Scuffed Label]

BH96 (Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Red) "This is also quite reserved yet aggressive swirling helps to liberate the very spicy and floral nose that also reflects notes of cassis and raspberry liqueur. The rich, supple and seductively textured flavors possess excellent volume and once again plenty of drive on the mouth coating, balanced and solidly structured finish. This terrific effort is an RSV that balances power and punch with refinement. Note well that this is very much built for the long haul and a good deal of forbearance will be necessary. "

Formerly known as Domaine Robert Arnoux, from 2008 the house has taken the name Arnoux-Lachaux.
