Opened at POB Paulee in Hong Kong. Slow-oxed for a few hours before enjoying over the dinner.
This was fantastic, and in an even better spot that the 2006 RSV we had alongside it. Red fruits with floral notes coming through, and it was effortless on the palate with good structure and minerality. Almost reminded me of a good Chambolle rather than a Clos de Vougeot, but no one's complaining.
Fantastic spot at the moment and thanks to R for sharing!

Gentle succulent black fruit, not large-framed but very pleasant and enjoyable. The palate is higher in acid than would be ideal, but the texture of fruit is smooth. Finish is a bit tart.

(Hudelot-Noellat Clos de Vougeot) Medium-plus cherry-red. The nose is wide, but starts rather indistinct - black skinned fruit edged with vanilla slowly comes into focus - slowly tightening to show a meaty base. In the mouth this is a lithe and interesting wine that shows super balance and medium-plus length. Very good Clos de Vougeot!

It doesn't get much better than this. Still dark, fresh and vigorous - earth, smoke, coffee, red fruits, the works. Wonderful.

A very pretty wine, divine terroir but perhaps a bit light in tone. Widely enjoyed
