2013 Domaine de L'Arlot Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 750ml

This is the most elegant wine in the range with its ultra-pure nose of violets, black currant and a plethora of spice elements. The supple, refined and intense middle weight flavors glide across the palate before culminating in a precise, firm and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is a combination of lace and punch and the epitome of what I like to describe as power without weight. Brilliant.
