Romanée-Saint-Vivant Hudelot-Noëllat 2005 is a red Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Vosne-Romanée commune in the Côte de Nuits. It offers black raspberry, blood orange and exotic spice with the sophisticated, firm tannins of an exceptional year that provided both power and elegance. This wine is currently in a prime drinking window, where the power of 2005 meets the elegant, floral silkiness of Vosne-Romanée. The palate is seamless and expansive, revealing tertiary notes of forest floor and dried violets that linger for nearly a minute, representing one of the finest efforts from this historic estate.
