ROMANEE ST. VIVANT 1990 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée St. Vivant 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru1 very slightly scuffed labelAt 19 years old from magnum, a wonderfully suave, smooth, well-bred nose. Total liqueur and coffee bean taste. One feels alcohol and ripeness. Rich cherries drenched in cassis. Immensely silky texture. A finish resembling eating blackcurrants. Now mature and ready. Sweet violets at the end, with a bit of tawny fruit and peat too. Ah, the complexity of great, mature Burgundy! In 2013, lots of breed and intensity.
