Clos St Denis Arlaud 1996 is a Grand Cru red wine from the Morey-Saint-Denis estate Domaine Arlaud. This 1996 vintage is a testament to the year’s high acidity, resulting in a Pinot Noir with great tension and focus. Now at a mature stage, the wine offers a complex array of tertiary aromas including leather, braised meat and dried cherries. The structure remains firm but integrated, with the tannins having softened into a velvety texture over nearly 30 years. It provides a classic, earthy profile that continues to open up beautifully in the glass, showing the enduring power of this Grand Cru.

This spectacular wine is medium-to-dark-ruby-colored and exhibits deeply ripe black fruit aromas that give way to an explosive, fat, velvety-textured, lush, and opulent personality. This offering does not lack complexity, yet it has the same seductive qualities as Arlaud`s other wines. Violets, black cherries, freshly ground white pepper, pork fat, juicy blueberries, and loads of North African spices tantalize the palate. Its admirably long and soft finish reveals loads of supple tannins. Drink this gem between 2000 and 2007. Bravo!
