9.0

Cinnamon is making lamb shanks and I just started reading Mr. Curtis' new book, so it had to be Burgundy tonight. The quote from Claude Arnoux, from 1728, "all the lords who prefer healthful drinks to dainty ones order wines from the Cote de Nuits for their table" made me reach for this Gouges. Report to follow. — 11 years ago

Still five years (at least) away from having any charm, this bottle instead traded on power and authority. Dark and full of iron, it was a Barolo like Burgundy and great with the decadent lamb shanks.

Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux

Les Poisets Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1996

"Domaine Robert Arnoux Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Poiset 1996" 澱が舞ってしまい、色は濁った濃いガーネット、熟成したカシス、腐葉土のようなアロマ。古酒の複雑味あり、しかし枯れることなくグラスの中で花開く。余韻は素晴らしく長い。 — 11 years ago
