2006 Alain Hudelot-Noellat, Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

BH93 "An exceptionally pretty, even perfumed, spice inflected nose reveals notes of both red and dark berry fruit trimmed in sandalwood hints that are displaying only traces of secondary influence. I like the sense of energy to the solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors that are supported by still mildly firm tannins on the otherwise balanced, long and complex finale. For my taste this is nearing its peak in magnum format but another 3 to 5 years of keeping should prove to be beneficial. In a word, lovely." AM for BH Mar 2023
