Domaine de L'Arlot Cote de Nuits Clos du Chapeau 2023

The wine combines extraordinary power and richness with remarkable complexity and finesse

The 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is just beginning to emerge from a period of post-bottling dormancy

The latter element carries over to the energetic

The ripeness carries over to the dense

There is again excellent volume to the sleek but powerful and concentrated middle weight plus flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the moderately austere finish that delivers flat out superb persistence

The wine is full-bodied and dense with moderately high tannin

Very fine and elegant on the palate

There is nothing garish about this subtle yet powerful giant of a wine

There is enough wood to notice framing the exuberantly spicy red and dark currant aromas that display an abundance of sauvage and earth nuances

you have to admire the concentration and subtle balance in this honeyed dessert wine

This moderately powerful effort is shaped by dense but fine tannins and is a wine that should amply repay extended cellaring
