ROMANEE ST. VIVANT 2003 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée St. Vivant 2003 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruAn August vintage. The plot is 5 hectares but only what was produced from 3.5 hectares has been bottled as the vineyard was being reconstituted. In 2010 from magnum, a really voluptuous, sweet roses nose. Comes bursting out of the glass at you. Briary roses and plums. Great tannin and freshness on the palate. So rich in glycerol and sweetness. Coats the mouth in fat and sugar - one feels a touch of alcohol at the end. Incredibly soft - melts in the mouth. What impact of black fruit on the finish. This is completely rich and fabulous.
