2016 Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Vosne-Romanee, Les Hautes Maizieres, Bottle (750ml)

"This is at once slightly spicier and a bit riper as well than the straight Vosne with its pretty and layered array of various red berries and floral scents. As is usually the case the bold flavors are bigger, richer, more concentrated and more powerful if perhaps not quite as refined on the strikingly long if mildly austere finale. This is an excellent villages and again, provided that you have at least some patience, well worth checking out." AM for BH Jan 2018
