Romanée St Vivant, Grand Cru,

Good bright, full red. Musky wild berries and pungent minerality on the slightly reduced nose. Wonderfully silky and sweet in the mouth, but with terrific inner-mouth tension to its complex flavors of dark cherry, leather and spicy earth. Serious yet showy, and surprisingly generous for a young RSV. Finishes with noble tannins and superb, rising aromatic persistence.
