Note di degustazione
A slightly green note is buried beneath the remarkably dense aromas of classic Vosne spice and crushed blackberries, full-bodied, very sappy flavors with a terrific inner core of complexity and still more spice. The purity of extract displayed here is mind bending and the overall harmony of expression is something to see. This remains quite backwards and will require plenty of patience.

Super quality in this blockbuster of a Pinot Noir, with lovely blackberries, wild berries and blueberries. But this full-bodied red is tough and angular, and a bit woody. Needs years in the cellar to show it all, but loads of ripe fruit, terroir and mineral character anchor it in pedigreed Burgundian soil. Best from 2010 through 2030. Wine Spectator Aug 31, 2002
The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Romanee-St.-Vivant has super-ripe black cherry and violet aromas. Medium-bodied and dense, it is austere, foursquare, and firm. This juicy red and blackberry-flavored wine has a tannic oak-imbued finish. Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate # 136
The 1999 Romanee-St-Vivant initially has its nose put out of joint by the precocious 1999 Echezeaux, but allowing the wine to unfold over 30 to 40 minutes, it shows its true breeding. Returning after ten minutes, the nose positively explodes from the glass with a sorbet-like purity – hints of wild strawberry, cassis and a little blueberry – a piercing intensity that is wondrous to behold. The palate is medium-bodied and does not have the volume of the 1999 Echezeaux, but there is superior clarity and focus, the tannins clearly fine and the finish shimmering with tension and femininity. This is just a beautiful wine that will only get better. Drink 2016-2030. eRobertParker.com.August, 2013
