Tasting notes
Noticeably dark crimson. Very different look from most. Made to charm with quite marked fruit leaping out of the glass. A bit brutal – almost more like an internationally styled red than a red burgundy. Lots of extraction. Not my favourite style but it should get there eventually. (JR)

Deep red with ruby tones. Black cherry and licorice on the nose. Generous, sweet and dense, offering excellent freshness and chewy depth. Finishes broad, sweet and long, with noteworthy finesse of tannins. A very promising vintage for this wine. Arnoux's parcel is contiguous to the Grands-Echezeaux of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, notes Lachaux.
Noticeable wood spice is present on the otherwise bright, pure and very fresh aromas of newly turned earth and a broad array of wild red berries. There is excellent volume and plenty of punch to the structured and firm large-scaled flavors that possess a lovely texture on the saline-infused finish. This is less austere than usual and should amply repay mid to even longer-term aging. Tasted: Jan 15, 2014. Drink: 2023+
