Nearly purple. Ready to go right out of the bottle. Fruit-acid balance is excellent and plenty of sous-bois. Much less fruit, less ripe and more development than 2005 Robert Chevillon NSG 1er cru had before.

not much classic terrior of st denis although a well made wine it was. Rather dark for a Pinot but nevertheless very fine tannin and medium ripe red fruit, usage of oak was not excessive but may have contributed to the drak color.

Domaine Arlaud Morey-Saint-Denis 1.cru Les Ruchots 2005 er fortsatt ung og sprek som en fole. Dyp rubin på farve med en beskjeden vanndig kant. Duften hopper ut av glasset og blåplommer og mørkere bær kjennes lang vei. Fin fylde, medium syre og silketanniner preger munnfølelsen. Sparsomt/integrert fat. Ettersmaken er lang og rund og noe søtt og deilig danser i munnen etter vinens sorti og eksponerer mer røde, søte bær. 13,5%.
Vinen er fulgt over flere dager og frukten holdt stand til idag, dag fire. Nå kommer tertiæraromaene som svisker, sopp og skogbunn mer fram. Fortsatt en fabelaktig vin, og man kan bli religiøs av mindre.

Pretty and quite expressive nose of red berries, anise, coke and forest floor. Rich and moutcoating - like a kiss in the mouth. Still youthful and I believe with more to show. Keep a few more years if you still have some. I'll open my next bottle around 2023/4.

Quite closed on day 1, showing some complexity with forest floor, animality and focused taste. Significantly better on day 2, refined, elegant nose and round, sappy and long taste. I would suggest not to touch these until around 2018.

Dinner; 1/18/2015-1/19/2015 (The Palace, Mission, SF): Very nice nose with strawberry, roses, a bit of stems, slight smoke; palate is fresh, light bodied, good red fruit; medium finish. Very nice solid burgundy, needs time. 91-93

This has finally come around and developed mature aromas of cherry, forest floor, anise, cola and something undefinable. Juicy and intense taste with good sap, excellent fruit and good balance. A touch of rawness on the finish, and will probably get even rounders in a year or two.

Great bottle from a great year, these burgs are hitting their stride. All you want with fruit, nose and acid.

Red and pale brown. Fruits are still very apparent, smooth tannins and long finish. Hints of forest floor, mossess. Perfect window now.

Drinking nicely now, still needs an hour or so decant. Very pretty but with oomph behind it.
