2001 Domaine Robert Arnoux, Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

BH94 "Mild bricking but with a deep ruby core. The perfumed and notably pretty nose reflects moderate maturity along with a lovely range of spice, floral and Asian-style tea nuances. There is excellent underlying tension to the middle weight and refined flavors that offer excellent depth and persistence on the balanced finish where the only nit is just a touch of acid tang. Still, the overall sense of balance and harmony is beguiling and I quite liked this. With that said, I sense that this is becoming fragile and thus I would be looking for reasons to drink up over the next 5ish or so years though there is no urgency." AM May 2019
