Domaine de l'Arlot, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Le Petit Arlot

Beaucoup plus accessible qu’il y a quelques année, mais reste très tendu (belle acidité). Pas d’urgence à regoûter dans un an ou deux

Pale; stems (100% destemmed), wisps of smoke & swirls of red fruit; mid-weight, crisp fruit, refreshing acidity, tannins resolves; compact finish. Best drunk soon. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Pleasingly pale, stemmy (100% de-stemmed) lithe, sous bois; supple, sleek, cool fruit, finishes clean & crisp, shapely manner. Good length.

Røde jordbær og hindbær. Skovbund, lidt mynte og en smule vanilje/fad. Let rød frugt, krydderurter og røg. Let og drikkevenlig!

I næsen modne røde jordbær og hindbær. Lidt vanilje bagved våd skov og læder. Munden med let rød frugt, sten, krydderurter og lidt hårde tanniner. Medium+ syre. Lang eftersmag.

Bu sur 2 jours. Beaucoup plus ouvert et « flatteur » le deuxième jour. Attendre encore minimum 2 ans avant la suivante !

Red Burgundy (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA) : N: Smoky (with barnyardy notes on 1st swirls), berries underneath; Mushrooms & notes of spice detectable with air P: Med, poss, MF body; Rndish entry 'til the pucker kicks in, which extends through the long finish, tannins only ligthly firming. I'm guessing needs cellaring 'til '20/'21 -- min. 13% ABV; 92 pts Tim Atkin, 88 pts Vinous. This vendor's $43.95 is a VERY competitive price!
