2008 Echézeaux Grand Cru, Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux
With the combination of power and elegance that epitomises great Pinot Noir, this was one of the best wines in the cellar and rivalled the Romanée-St-Vivant for refinement. Complex and heady nose of Asian spices, blackberry and rubber, the palate has hedgerow fruits, coriander and woodsmoke. Long oaky finish, which will integrate well into the wine.
