Tasting notes
The 1995 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru is beginning to drink beautifully, wafting from the glass with a rich bouquet of sweet red berries, warm spices, mossy forest floor and peony. Full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's surprisingly tender and charming for a 1995, with fine mid-palate amplitude, melting tannins and a long, expansive finish.

Marey Monge on the label. Pale to mid ruby. A little chewy still but very vigorous and dense, Smoother and more confident than the Leroy RSV 1995. Slightly drying tannins on the end at first but then in the glass it opened up to be beautifully sweet, round and jewelly. Very lively and in the end very impressive. (JR)
