  Essence of cherry, wood-inflected notes of leather, cedar, sandalwood, mineral notes over chewy tannins today. Not quite as hard as some of the '98 Arnoux 1er Crus have some across in the past and while certainly not resolved, this seems to be more accessible in an overall sense. Drying, tannic finish. A food wine for meat.

  At first, sweet aromas of musky red and black cherries, sous bois and mineral, licorice on the nose with a hint of dusty tobacco. Fleshy on entry with darker, more somber pinot fruit, incense, cedar and ending crisp and short. This shows a bit of advanced development with even just ten minutes of air time. Questionable storage? Hard to judge.

  Consistent with prior note, this continues to drink beautifully. Well balanced, cool rhubarb fruit with baking spice and hints of smoke and earth. Super enjoyable bottle.

  Complex aromas of red and dark berries, subtle earthy tones. Still some acidity to keep it aging. Nice balance. Full body with weight and depth.

  Light ruby colour. Initial acetone on nose. This gradually clered with slight aroma of small red fruit developing. Dry and tannic with wood on palate but slowly improved with underlying strawberry fruit with spice. 2nd night lovely spicey strawberry nose. Sweet fruit with nice acidity and less gripier tannins longish finish, unrecognisable from 1st night.
