Score 92-94/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound

In contrast to the aromatic reticence of the Suchots this is quite expressive with a perfumed, airy and highly complex nose of sandalwood, clove, anise and cinnamon that add breadth to the black cherry and red currant scents. There is a sophisticated mouth feel to the wonderfully refined and pure middle weight flavors where the supporting tannins are also dense but ultra-fine, all wrapped in a strikingly persistent finish. This is really very classy and should also age effortlessly. Tasted: Jan 15, 2014. Drink: 2027+

From the domaine’s 24 rows of vines just below Romanee-Conti, the 2012 Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a complex, mineral-rich nose that unfolds beautifully in the glass. The palate has just a little gas to shake off, but it is so alive with a sorbet-like freshness: blood orange mixed with vibrant red fruit. It reminds me of tasting some of the 2005 from barrel with its sense of energy and animation. Outstanding – alas just three barrels produced. Dec 2013, www.robertparker.com
