A 2001 Robert Arnoux Vosne-Romanée, a village wine that IMO would be hard to distinguish from a 1er Cru when tasted blind. An 86 point wine from Tanzer?? OK, bring on those scores if they keep the price down. Unlike the Arnoux Clos Vougeot from the night before, this was much closer to being ready to drink, even if it would benefit positively from a few more years in the bottle. Fat, lush, almost creamy on the palate, with rich black and red fruits dominating the nose, this wine showed great Vosne typicity, and at a bargain price. Needless to say, I ransacked every wine store in Beaune the next day looking for bottles of this wine to take home (found some empty bottles at one store, but that was it).

(Arnoux Robert Vosne-Romanée) Medium colour but purple tinged. Earth and sweet wood on the nose.. Furry, velvetty tannin and nice acidity. Persistent fruit. Good-plus.

Was disappointed. Thought this not worth the price. Ok concentration, but rather boring nose. Ordinary quality.
