Vosne Romanee Suchots, Domaine Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux 2010

**Note: from a .45 ha parcel situated at the very top of the vineyard**
There is noticeable reduction present so I would strongly advise decanting this if you intend to try one young. Otherwise, there is good richness to the velvety and strikingly well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent density of extract, in fact this is almost creamy at present though I suspect that the mid-palate will tighten up soon on the highly persistent finish. In sum, this possesses simply terrific potential.

Here the reduction is just enough to knock down the expressiveness but not hide the otherwise very spicy, even sexy black fruit. The rich, velvety and strikingly well-detailed medium-bodied flavors possess excellent density of extract, in fact this is almost creamy at present though I suspect that the mid-palate will tighten up soon on the highly persistent finish. In a word, terrific.
