Great richness and and deep red fruits of the nose are complemented by a deep cherry flavor in the mouth. Palate is still tight and will only get better with time. i would drink again in 5 years or so and it will be a knockout and show the elegance i expect from this wine. this could also be bottle variation as the last bottle I had was clearly superior. if i drink sooner i will give it a few hours of air.

nose of brown sugar mouth of elegant lively red fruit, with good concentration and a hint of baking spice. drinks well but shows no indication of being 20 years old. I remember being more floored by the 02 Arnoux Reignots.

Seventeenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Hughes House - Chicago IL): In Arnoux 02/08 Suchots/RSV flight. Fully mature red cherry and berry with some roasted meat. Slightly more mature than I might consider ideal, but lots here. I frankly preferred the 2002 Suchots, but others didn't agree.

Surprisingly open on the nose and attack after the relatively closed flight of 02 nuits that preceded it. So composed and classy with years still to go.
