"I have always had a warm spot for the 1993 Suchots from Domaine Robert Arnoux, which seems less marked by its new wood than more recent vintages of this bottling. The wine was stellar in its youth and has aged very well indeed, so that today it offers up a deep, vibrant and complex bouquet of raspberries, plums, coffee, Vosne spice tones, a lovely base of autumnal soil tones and spicy new wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, complex and beautifully focused, with a lovely core of red fruit, excellent transparency and a very long, autumnal and tangy finish of modest tannins and outstanding complexity. A beautiful bottle at its peak, but with plenty of life still ahead of it." John Gilman, View From the Cellar #55, Feb 2015 |
