Consistent with my previous note but I notice dark cherry fruit a bit more. This has a gorgeous texture and is more svelte than the crunchy Cathiard I had the other day.

Cork soaked through, but no impact on the wine. Dark ruby, no sign of bricking. A bit shy on the nose initially, but opens up (dark berries) with time in the glass. Rich palate, good density. Dark fruited, Vosne spice, excellent acidic balance. Medium+ finish. Outperforms its level. No rush to drink, should easily maintain its current properties for at least another 5 years.

Sexy nose, blueberry and raspberry fruit with a herbal touch, oak presence. Oak spice. Bit of cola. Not super-expressive initially on the palate but with lovely freshness and tension. Quite concentrated, especially for the level. With a bit of air the fruit comes more to the fore. Not-quite integrated oak on the finish. Gorgeous, will hit its absolute peak in coupe of years I suspect.

Fresh and complex nose with minerals and herbs (mint) to the fore, pure strawberry and blueberry fruit underneath. Elegant on the palate with superb balance. Perhaps a touch under-ripe. Nice dry tannic finish. Gorgeous and will get better.

SLDS July 2020 - Re-United: Truffle, cherry and red floral notes. Red tinged fruit on the palate, with good acid and a nice spicy character to the fruit. In a really nice place.

Holding up really nicely. I think I had this a few years ago and din't like it as much as I did tonight. Lovely sweet fruit still showing with some Vosne spice. In a great spot and drinks beautifully.

Nice nose with lots of fresh red berries, some clay, clove and hints of bay leaf. On the palate quite elegant, fresh and acidic with some tannin. Sour berries - lingonberries, cranberries and barley ripe raspberries. Structured, borderline thin. Some earthy minerals and just hints of spice. Medium lenght. Nice, but would have liked just a bit more substance to the midpalate and finish.

While nothing spectacular it is well made and a great table Burgundy wine. Nose of smoke, blood and cherry fruit. Good spice on the palette and mushroom and must. Sour cherries as well on the rear palate during finish. Balanced acidity and integrated tannins.

nose - red cherry mouth - powerful and smooth with a long sour finish. regal though not really exciting. I much preferred the rustic charm of the H-N 2010 C-M village wine.

Hudelot-Noellat, a Favorite Producer (The Wolf, Oakland): A floral, slightly angular nose. Smooth and gentle in body and spice with a premature finish. Approachable, substantive, and unobtrusive, especially as compared to the 2010 Hudelot-Noellat (same vintage and producer) Chambolle-Musigny. Drinking great now -2024

Lots of bright red fruit with Asian five spice. An overall lighter style, while nicely elegant. Moderate weight and length are still very good for Villages level. Very good now through 2025.

Cork badly streaked with wine as is typical for 2010 HN. Some dissolved CO2. Last bottle of this was a little advanced and fairly incredible for its level, but this one is alas utterly closed up. Over several days, could not coax this past the 'tannic water' stage. Baffling.

Wow, this is straight up delicious. Beautiful red and blue fruits, asian spices, kombu, soft midsection and medium acid. Amazingly soft and drinkable for such a young villages, perhaps due to the seepage issues with this vintage at HN. No complaints here, I will power through remaining bottles of these in no time.

From another leaking bottle. Asian spice and soy on the nose. Very well balanced, lots of red fruits building to a powerful finish. Great village level.

Apritelo prima, ci vuole un po' di aria per uscire dalla sua tesa stretta acida e minerale di arancia e sale. Poi il frutto si addolcisce e la territorialità speziata e fumosa, anche se timida, si concede insieme ad una bella sensazione floreale. La bocca è buona fin da subito, bello il sottile tannino, sferzante l'acidità agrumata, dolce il finale floreale. Freschissimo e di media persistenza, oggi sposerebbe bene uno stinco di maiale. Sarei curioso di seguirne l'evoluzione tra 3/4 anni.

Unassumingly fragrant with rose and decaying apple skins. Balanced but less expressive on palate. Supple with light red fruit and quite transparent - quite recognisable from the HR's EP tasting 2 years ago.

Appearance: Bright and clear, this wine is of light ruby color, with legs. Nose: Clean, the nose shows medium intensity aromas of red fruit such as raspberry and red cherry, sweet spice of cloves, hints of maturity notes of savory, mineral notes of earth. The wine is youthful. Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, with medium (-) tannin of silky texture, the wine has medium alcohol and medium (-) body. Medium intensity with flavors of red fruit such as red cherry and raspberry, sweet spice of nutmeg, some maturity notes of savory, the wine has a medium (+) finish. Conclusion: Acceptable quality Vosne-Romanee with a reasonable intensity on the nose though a bit on the simple side, the wine is a bit closed down and on the palate the acidity is a bit high, but fortunately the flavors overall is still fair in concentration. The finish is quite long, but definitely this wine needs more time to reveal its true potential and too young.

La Paulée de New York 2013 (Metropolitan Pavilion, NYC): Wispy pure red fruit with slight sulphurous reduction. Nose has cherry cough syrup and vinyl a touch too at this point; palate bears a bit of the sour sulphur but the fresh, light acid cherry fruit finish shows you where it's headed and this'll be fantastic with time.
