Tasting Notes
The 2015 Romanée Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a very fragrant bouquet with small red cherries, crushed strawberry, crushed stone and a touch of rose petal—pure and utterly refined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, tensile and full of energy, a pleasant marine influence developing towards the finish and lending complexity and personality. Very long, very sensual, very Romanée-Saint-Vivant. This is a brilliant follow-up to the fabulous 2014. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com, Drink: 2021-2045

(from a .48 ha parcel of vines). This is both more elegant but also more restrained with its cool red cherry, sandalwood, tea and various floral scents. The lilting, silky and pure middle weight flavors possess a gorgeously refined mouth feel as the supporting tannins are dense but notably fine-grained on the beautifully focused, balanced and lingering finish. This will be approachable young but age quite well too. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
