2018 Romanee St Vivant

The 2018 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is a profound young wine, unwinding in the glass with a captivating bouquet of red berries, plums and orange rind mingled with exotic spices, rose hips, peonies and smoke. Full-bodied and deep, it's layered and concentrated, with a seamless, multidimensional profile, bright animating acids and ripe, powdery tannins. Long and resonant, this is an incipiently dramatic but youthfully tightly wound Romanée-Saint-Vivant that will reward extended bottle age with remarkable aromatic range and textural sumptuousness. Cropped at 11.5 hectoliters per hectare, only 1,160 bottles were produced.
