"The 2013 Romanée-St.-Vivant from Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat was another late malo finisher and the wine was still on the grumpy side at the time of my visit, with a fairly expressive nose currently coupled to an out of sorts palate impression, but this will clearly be outstanding. The bouquet offers up a fabulous constellation of raspberries, cherries, blood orange, beautiful spice tones, lavender, complex soil nuances, fresh nutmeg and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and quite poised (despite its grumpy nature at the time of my visit), with fine mid-palate depth, nascently complexity, ripe tannins and superb length and grip on the tangy finish. This is going to be very, very special when it reaches its zenith." |

"The 2013

"The 2013 Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with
vibrant red berry fruit, wilted rose petals, a touch of lavender coming through
with time. There is real vigor and generosity here. The palate is medium-bodied
with quite a firm structure. There is wonderful depth and body that forms the
foundation of this wine, coming across a little more masculine than the 2014,
exerting a firm grip with a slightly curmudgeonly finish that just needs time
to mellow. This is excellent."Wine

“Deep red with ruby highlights. Sexy aromas and flavors of
primary dark berries, black raspberry and cocoa powder complicated by spicy oak
tones. Thick yet lively on entry; a youthfully imploded but utterly seamless
wine with outstanding energy and depth. For all its density, this tactile,
saline wine shows a magically light touch. Really builds and lingers on the
superb rising finish, which features noble tannins. Still a baby, this grand
cru has a great future.”
