Domaine de l'Arlot - Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru 'Les Suchots' - 2022

The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots 1er Cru, matured in 40% new oak, is intense on the nose, opulent yet controlled with mainly red berry fruit, allspice and rose petal scents, just a hint of black olive emerging with time. Very well-defined. The medium-bodied palate comes armed with a voluptuous entry, almost viscous in texture, intense yet delineated with a gradual build to its sweet and detailed finish. This will require four to five years to open for business, but it is certainly a serious Les Suchots with a wonderful spicy edge. 93-95 Points Neal Martin, Vinous.com
