Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru 2007 0,75L

ROBERT PARKER ” Tasted at the domaine and at Corney & Barrow. There is a wonderful sense of transparency on the nose here: raspberry leafy, chalky elements coming through; dried autumn leaves and dewy morning lawn. There are less herbaceous elements here that on other crus. The palate displays a supple entry, quite understated at first but certainly expanding in the glass. Very fine backbone. The bottle in November at the domaine was leafier but four months later it has a lovely rounded, silky finish with pure red cherries, raspberry and wild strawberry struck through with wonderful minerality. This is fare prettier and more alluring that the Richebourg at this stage. Drink 2012-2025. Tasted January 2010. “
