ROMANEE ST. VIVANT 1995 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée St. Vivant 1995 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruSlightly scuffed labelAt 14 years old from magnum. A late vintage. All the spices and all the red and black fruits on the nose - this has everything. Forest fruits and cedar trees. Richly-scented and really hedonistic. Liquid opulence. Even a touch of peat. A real cherry liqueur taste. Rolls round the mouth in total splendour. You can get the more mature tertiary tastes now, going off in all directions. Very exciting wine, full of fat and sweetness. Finishes on a sweet, candied note. Later, an almost 'mysterious', Dior-like scent. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 931 bt (sc)Estimates are per lot
