Product Description
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." AM for BH Jan 2011
NM95 "This has a vigorous energetic bouquet that is compact at first, opening up with time offering crushed rose petal, orange essence and a tincture of blueberry. Unlike the Richebourg that is a little sulky in the glass, the Romanee Saint Vivant seems to blossom and succour energy from the air. The tannins are very smooth and supple, the mid-palate caressing and sensual. Exquisite balance here, effortless towards the finish that just glides across the mouth. This is a beautiful Romanee Saint Vivant. Tasted January 2011." NM for WJ Mar 2011
DR95 "Lovely fragrant nose, but lighter than the Grands Echézeaux. Softer but very stylish. This has particularly lovely cool, composed fruit. Fresh, long, complex and classy. Very fine. (Drink starting 2018)" CC for DR Feb 2018
