Ripe dark fruit, some earth and stone flavors, rich, round and velvety, but with some underlying muscle. Just entering the peak maturity zone, with plenty of time to go. Excellent bottle.

This is a very fruit driven pinot.Neutral to slight fruit nose,good acidity, tannins noticeable but not dominant. This has loads of dark fruit flavours that coat and last on the palate giving this a long length. A sweetness from the fruit hits your mouth initially and that blends in with the tannins with each glass to give this pinot an excellent balance. Drinks well early and will age well. Another great MSD 1er Cru from Arlaud.

Decanted for an hour before serving to help reduce the reduction. The wine performed quite well post decanting, showing purple cherries, wild strawberries and minerals, on the palate, it was well structured with darker berries and spices yet balanced with minerals and smooth texture. Probably best to enjoy after another 3-4 years in bottle.

Vindredi (2015 Red Burgundies) (Bellevue, WA): Rose petals, wood spice, earth on the nose. Red cherry, strawberry, and spice, all wrapped together in a lovely mouthfeel. Fine tannins and good, if slightly tart, acid to finish. Beautiful!

Arlaud er en produsent fra Burgund som i de siste få årene har tatt kvantesprang og virkelig fått fatt på skuta.
Denne vinen har et innslag av bred mørk frukt på nesen med litt mørkerøde bær, blåbær, lær og et lite sjokoladepreg.
Vinen er middels + konsentrert med et litt bløtt anslag, men som vokser godt etterhvert i munnen. Litt høstvåte saftige kirsebær, skogsbær, røyk og lær.
Vinen har finkornede tanniner som kler vinen godt og det er ingenting som ligger utenpå her. Godt levert dette. Vil vokse mer. Bra vin. 91 poeng. For nå.
