Romanée St. Vivant 2002 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (3 BT)

Romanée St. Vivant 2002

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Levels into the neck, 1 slightly scuffed label, 2 wine-stained and scuffed labels, 1 slight signs of old seepage, sequential bottle numbers, import back label of exclusive importer of DRC for Germany, ex-Sotheby's The Don Stott Cellar Part II, New York, 4-5 December 2015, Lot 593

At 7 years old from magnum. Not a very deep colour. Surprisingly earthy on the nose. Damp forest elements. Elegant finesse, with a certain "lightness of being". A touch 'spiky' in that RSV way, but then the sweetness kicks in. Cassis notes at the end. A medium-term keeper. Very flavoury. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
