2008 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, DRC, Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml) [Slightly Soiled Label]

BH95 "As one would reasonably expect, this is notably more elegant with a pure, delicate and layered nose of floral notes, in particular rose and violet, along with clove, anise and sandalwood nuances that gracefully introduce rich, forward and generous flavors that retain a wonderful sense of tension, detail and refinement on the precise, textured and focused finish that offers tremendous length. For all its considerable attributes however, this remains an understated wine of harmony, grace and impeccable balance. A stunner of a wine." (January 2011)
