Romanée St. Vivant 2009

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Excellent level and appearance, straw wrapped; Excellent niveau et apparence, emballé avec de la paille

Harvested after Richebourg, Romanée Conti and La Tâche. Transcendent perfume. Great, huge body and enormous precision and definition. Very rich super-structure. So much naturaඣl 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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 95
