ROMANEE ST. VIVANT 2006 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée St. Vivant 2006 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruA very spicy, cloves and cinnamon nose. Takes one to the Cairo spice bazaar! Even voluptuous. Extremely luscious blackberry jam taste. Thicker in texture than the 2007. It really feels like eating blackberries. Good acidity behind it. Maybe a glimmer of oak at 3 years old, but what seamless integration. A real 'settled' feel in the mouth. DRC is really the king of the 2006s. Later, candied fruits on the nose.
