2003 Domaine de l'Arlot Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru

An outstanding effort, the 2003 Romanee-St.-Vivant boasts a stunning nose of violets, roses, candied red cherries, plums, and spices. The only red not to have been acidified, it lustfully expands on the palate revealing oodles of dark cherries, blackberries, and notes of chocolate. Armed with excellent depth, this wine also sports a long, fruit-filled finish.
