Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Mar 23
The 2001 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has quite a deep hue. Intense dark berry on the nose, hints of orange rind and even a faint melted tar scent. This is a surprising showing for the normally transparent Romanée-Saint-Vivent - this is opaque and surly, yet the tannins are finely hewn. Backward in style, as I commented before, it is doing a delicious impersonation of a Richebourgh! I would afford this more time in bottle. Tasted at Alino's dinner at La Trompette.
