The Romanee St.-Vivant may turn out to be entirely too tannic for its own good, but time will tell. Admittedly I tasted it within 2 months of being bottled so perhaps it was in an awkward stage as a result of recent bottling. However, my notes on the wine out of cask also raised the same specter of the wine's being too tannic and hard for the amount of fruit. At the present time, this seems to be the only wine from the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti that is not profound or potentially superb.
About the producer
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or simply “DRC” is without doubt the most famous domaine in Burgundy and one of the most famous producers on earth. The Grand Cru vineyard from which it takes its name produces the world’s most expensive wine by a long margin.
