Romanée Saint Vivant, Domaine Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux 2010

Tasting Notes

(from a .375 ha parcel situated by La Grande Rue). A notably floral character adds breadth to the highly spiced and exceptionally fresh nose of cool red currant and plum. The rich, refined and admirably pure middle weight flavors are supported and shaped by ultra-fine tannins that coat the mouth on the incredibly long finish. Despite the underlying tension, this is essentially a wine of finesse and harmony that should also age for a very long time if desired. Brilliant and
remarkably complex. 96/2025+

Not surprisingly, this is the most elegant and the most complex wine in the range in 2010 with a highly spiced and exceptionally fresh nose of cool red currant and plum. The rich, refined and admirably pure middle weight flavors are supported and shaped by ultra-fine tannins that coat the mouth on the incredibly long finish. Despite the underlying tension, this is essentially a wine of finesse and harmony that should also age for a very long time if desired. Brilliant.
