Romanée Saint-Vivant

1996 Confuron JJ Romanée Saint-Vivant

By on May 31, 2001 #asides

Deep colour. Closed nose, though a slight hint of caramel (Clive later said coffee). Very high acid, medium tannin. Very pure red cherry fruit, silky smooth on the palate. Very, very long – fabulous!

Deep colour. Closed again. Once more very high acid and medium tannins. Not as smooth as Confuron’s, but again very pure fruit – cherries. Nice length.

1996 Hudelot-Noellat Romanée Saint-Vivant

Very deep colour. Closed. Maybe even higher acid than the previous wines – but we’re still not talking paint-stripper!! Really mouth coating tannins. Not the obvious pure fruit of the previous two – perhaps it’s actually a little more mature and complex. Good length again.
