Robert Arnoux, Vosne Romanee Les Suchots 2002

The 02 Les Suchots from Arnoux is showing mature notes. In the bouquet aromas of mushrooms,, truffle, orange peel, dark cherries and raspberries – quite open and ready to rumble. On the palate it’s however more tight with some unresolved tannins – perhaps slightly to much oak. Very nice ripe fruit, red and dark berries, licorice and a hint of orange notes in the finish. Good length and balance, still needs at least 5 years more to soften the tannins. A good wine … but not very complex, and too oaky for my taste

(Drink from 2017) Very Good – 90p
