The 2016 Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru is very flattering on the nose with copious Morello cherry wild strawberry and dark plum aromas pressed iris flower and a subtle oyster shell note developing with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins impressive weight and girth. Demonstrates wonderful complexity and harmony towards the finish. This is reassuringly profound and it should give 40 to 50 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. (Drink between 2024-2060)
Intense purple raw energy to the nose Dark raspberry fresh blackberry very intense cherry too a harmonious whole with great weight and class. Very lovely with understated intensity and great persistence. But it doesn?t kick on in the glass quite so well. Tasted: September 2019.
