Flight 3 :: Domaine Robert Arnoux Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots, 3decades, showing off why Arnoux Suchots having the benchmark standard for this plot. Eye opening experienced! The 1978 was soooooo fantastic while I have almost neglected both 1995 & 2001 and my all time favorite Peking Duck

Alcohol: ??
Perfect condition. Showed fully mature age sign of brownish and slight brick red core, almost age Sauternes like. Wow! The nose is to die for, highly aromatic of very ripe dark fruits, earth, floral, spices, fresh and deep. Seductive! U will get suck into it. Dry fig, black berry, tea leave etc. Very complex. The palate is not disappointing either, in fact, better than the nose! Sweet, ripe, spicy, silky smooth mouth feel, multi-faceted, complex, decadent of flavors linger all the way thru to the tremendous finishing with its hall mark intense Vosne spice. This is already my WOTN and what burgundy can show. This is so complete. Still going strong after two hours in the glass, even better on the palate with more acidity kicking in to break thru the ripe dark fruits with very intense mid palate sap to long long lingering spicy finish. Perfect Harmony. Finesse and elegant, classy!

Alcohol: 13.5%
Very dark ruby core with slight brownish hue. Soft intense nose of dark berry fruits, Vosne spice, mineral and slight barnyard. (this did disappear after sitting in the glass for sometime) Slight rustic palate due to the vintage? Still very tannic with tons of dark ripe fruits such as plum, dark cherry and berry, dried tea leaf, with acidity came at the back to round up the complex flavor. Finished is long and sweet with hint of rubbery tones. While this is good, this is not at the same class as the 78 and 81, also lack of the elegant and pure factor.

Lovely bright med ruby red with slight yellowish edge. The nose is quite expressive and perfumy violet, roses with earth, dark berry fruit and hint of spices, The palate is still tight, fresh, with round silky mouth feel and very fine silky tannins, with umami, light mineral spices finishing. Good mid palate sap but the finish is not showing what it got at the moment. Lots of upside potential, hope this will gain more depth and complexity in the bottle.
