Arnoux In Wonderland


Arnoux In Wonderland, originally uploaded by mitchancona.

2005 Dom Robert Arnoux Pinot Fin Bourgogne

Dense, slightly hazy, garnet red color. Intricate nose of fresh cherries and damp earth. Wonderfully thick, viscous mouth feel. Complex flavor, hints of spice, earth and leather layered over sweet candied cherries. Long lingering dry finish. I tried this wine over a three hour period. It was slightly one dimensional (fruit) at first, but with time it opened and became very complex. All in all a beautiful wine now that will only get better with more time.
