Lots of things in the right place here. Just starting to reveal secondary aromas, primary fruit is receding a bit and starting to show an earthy, tertiary roundness. Some nicely balanced and accentuated dark fruit and spice beneath the cloaking structure. Really needs a healthy decant, or just keep waiting. '05 is so strong.

Great wine - real balance and I’d argue in its sweet spot now. Very little not to like - all the elements, good fruit, nice acidity and tannins and moderate alcohol all contribute to a very enjoyable wine.

Very nice village level Arnoux. Just starting to show secondary aromas. Young, cool, kind of tight, but a good dose of ripe fruit too. Dark fruit and spice. Very nice, but needs time imo

Really nice ... especially for a village wine, and actually drinks like a premier cru. Textbook example of a burgundy with plenty of dark fruits, spice and earth, a silky, lean texture, good structure and no sharp edges. Perhaps just a bit simple, but that is being really picky. In its prime drinking window right now (its been in my temp-controlled cellar since release).

Fruit forward red burg with cherry notes dominating. Shows earthiness and hints of wood as well.
