ROMANEE ST. VIVANT 2009 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée St. Vivant 2009 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruBanded prior to inspectionHarvested after Richebourg, Romanée Conti and La Tâche. Transcendent perfume. Great, huge body and enormous precision and definition. Very rich super-structure. So much natural glycerol that the tannins are completely enveloped in sweetness. Another 2012 bottle had a gorgeous perfume and many-layered succulence on the palate, richly textured and complex. Glorious definition, freshness and glycerol. Great elegance and a great future.
