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

There's a hint of oak spice here but it is very subtle and beautifully melded with the fresh fruit of the variety

meaty density

Arlot, Nuits Saint Georges Clos Arlot Blanc other_regions_italy A subtle application of woodOnce 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.
