Vosne Romanee Suchots, Domaine Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux 2005

Well integrated if not invisible wood influence frames sexy, elegant and pure black berry fruit aromas that slide into beautifully balanced and naturally sweet flavors that have superb depth of material, particularly on the silky, even velvety finish. This is quite a seductive wine with almost invisible structure as the pinot baby fat completely buffers it on the wonderfully persistent and mouth coating finish. An impressive effort with outstanding balance and I very much like the structural harmony here, which should permit the '05 Suchots to age effortlessly. A terrific effort.
