(85-88)/2013+

This is excellent and should prove to be very long-lived

as this initial showing is very focused on primary aromas both floral and fruity

(from 35+ year old vines)

grilled hazelnut and allspice notes

Joseph Drouhin, Romanee Saint Vivant other_regions (85-88)/2013+Airy, 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+
