Score 93-95/100 · Neal Martin
The 2012 Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a slightly earthier bouquet compared to some of the others encountered, but it remains well defined with citrus fruit and orange peel emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins. This is very pure and generous with a lush dark chocolate, mocha-tinged finish that is showing too much oak at present, but that will be absorbed with time. Seductive. Dec 2013, www.robertparker.com
