Arlot, Nuits Saint Georges Clos Arlot Blanc other_regions_italy This is the first time

This is the first time since 2004 that they have bottled a Kabinett under the single-vineyard Kirchspiel name

A subtle application of wood easily allows the softly spicy array of game

The finish is long and crystalline

Firms up midpalate

meaty density

Arlot, Nuits Saint Georges Clos Arlot Blanc other_regions_italy This is the first timeOnce again there is a vaguely exotic character to the toasty aromas of menthol, citrus, tea and spiced apple. Like the Gerbotte, the medium weight flavors are impressively dense with a succulent and opulent texture, all wrapped in a slightly austere, nicely dry and lingering finale. This is also a bit rustic, but I like the balance.
