Joseph Drouhin, Romanee Saint Vivant Size:2x750ml 500 bottles were madeAiry, pure, elegant and extremely expressive as the aromas just float from the glass with rose petal and assorted floral notes. The mineral infused, racy and finely delineated flavors are nuanced and textured though the backend has a somewhat dry and edgy quality to it that is highlighted by the racy finishing acidity. This is still entirely primary and should age well for a number of years. 90 2010+
