The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's 1993 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru is drinking beautifully today, soaring from the glass with scents of dark wild berries, rose petals, orange rind, cinnamon and a lavish application of new oak. Full-bodied, fleshy and rather generous for the vintage, it's deep and concentrated, with supple tannins and a long, penetrating finish.

Closed and tough, featuring tannic, austere character that's almost rustic. Offers plenty of redberry and blackberry flavors. Seems somewhat awkward and off-balance now, but it's a big wine and the potential is there. Try in 2005.??–null??Region: France / Burgundy / Romanée St.-Vivant Select to Add
