ROMANEE ST. VIVANT 1997 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée St. Vivant 1997 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruPreviously purchased from Christie's HK, The Henry Tang Collection in March 2013, with proof tags on all bottlesAt 12 years old from magnum, quite a 'flat' nose compared with the vivacity of some vintages, but this is a 1997 feature. Sweet violets. Very berries and raisins taste. And a touch of leather on the finish. Has a long flavour, increasingly cassis in the glass. And, right on the finish, raspberries. Very complex at the end. Later, the longer one leaves this, the more 'live' the bouquet becomes. Serena Sutcliffe, MW6 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
