Romanée Saint Vivant, Domaine Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux 1996

Tasting Notes

Deeply pitched aromas of menthol, spice, sandalwood and ripe black pinot fruit leads to silky, rich, deep flavors blessed with outstanding length if not necessarily great elegance. While this is no heavyweight, it offers much to like with delicious flavors and a chewy finish that goes on and on. Note: that another bottle tasted several years ago displayed better purity and transparency.
