2014 Domaine de l'Arlot Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru

The 2014 Vosne-RomanA?Ace 1er Cru les Suchots has a fragrant nose of blackberry and boysenberry fruit with a potent cold stone scent flowing underneath. I like the reserve here. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin on the entry, but harmonious and cohesive with a linear, delineated finish that should gain more flesh by the time it is bottle. At the moment, there is plenty of freshness and tension, if not the weight that I am sure the 2015 will eventually bestow.
