Vosne Reignots, Domaine Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux 2002

Deep ruby. An explosive nose of superbly complex red and black fruit aromas cut with a distinct geranium note lead to delicious, pure and extremely spicy flavors of mouth coating extract and remarkable intensity and while they are not as big or robust as those of the Clos de Vougeot, they are finer and better balanced. The length here is phenomenal and Lachaux continues his indisputable dominance as the reference standard for this vineyard. In short, this is a real stunner of wine that should age magnificently.
