Clos de Vougeot, Domaine Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux 2012

**Note: from vines next to the wall by Grands Echézeaux; 40% whole cluster**
Relatively heavy reduction renders the nose unreadable. There is excellent richness, size, weight and power to the medium weight plus flavors that brim with mouth coating dry extract that buffers well the firm tannic spine on the strikingly long finish. This is austere but not really rustic and should amply reward mid to long-term cellaring.
