Note di degustazione
The 2015 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is very intense on the nose, beautifully defined with scents of black cherries, iodine, pressed violets and just a hint of dark chocolate in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a fine bead of acidity, quite tight at first (this bottle had not been decanted) with a spicy, quite saline finish. Perhaps a little closed down at the moment, this superb Romanée-Saint-Vivant needs another 4-5 years in bottle. Tasted at the Domaine de L’Arlot tasting at La Cabotte in London.

The 2015 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru offers disarming, pure, seductive dark cherry, red plum and pressed flower scents on the opulent but extremely refined bouquet. The oak here is brilliantly assimilated. The palate is very well balanced with succulent ripe tannin. Arguably the palate does not quite match the succinctness and nuance of the aromatics; perhaps the wine is entering a closed phase. There is so much substance and grip here that I am certain it constitutes a long-term prospect. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
(100% vendange entier ): Bright, dark red. Very ripe but rather brooding aromas of blueberry, licorice, violet and tropical dark chocolate. Then wonderfully perfumed and precise in the mouth, conveying an impression of thickness and inner-mouth tension without weight. The stems provide another dimension without dominating the wine's fruits and flowers. A spectacular example of 2015, not yet fleshy but very dense and seductively sweet. The bracing, mounting finish goes on and on. This wine will need many years of cellaring to unfold and yet it's easier to taste today than its 2016 sibling, as are most of these '15s.
