Illustrative of the '96 problem :
-
1996 Domaine Robert Arnoux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru (4/9/2010)
Pretty nose with some musty notes and a little spice. Light in weight with very poor resolution of flavors. Acids not in harmony either. Some red fruits still going. Hard to evaluate - either this is past the peak or needs to sleep a long time. Might as well do the latter.
