Dark fruit, wood and herbs undertone. Masculine expression of rsv yet the fruit was muted. Like many 96, we are waiting for the acidity to tone down while the fruit to be more giving.

A more fleshy and masculine rsv of arnoux. Not as elegant as the 95 on the side. Gave it 3 hours of alow ox. Nose has baking spice, meat and fruit. Palate has the typical 96 tart fruit with very high acidity. The wine gradually opens up towards the evening. I think it still needs another 3-5 years for things to harmonize.

(Arnoux Robert Romanée Saint-Vivant) Deep colour. Closed again. Once more very high acid and medium tannins. Not as smooth as Confuron’s, but again very pure fruit - cherries. Nice length.

A very serious and packed RSV with loads of black cherry, tea and Vosne spice. Still a bit firm and closed in, better in 5-10 years.

Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys La Paulée Auction; 3/10/2022-3/11/2022 (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY): Robust and complex, this is still a bit firm and imperfectly harmonious, but so much great fruit, spice and structure here. Another 1996 that has further upside.
