The 2015 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is very intense on the nose, beautifully defined with scents of black cherries, iodine, pressed violets and just a hint of dark chocolate in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a fine bead of acidity, quite tight at first (this bottle had not been decanted) with a spicy, quite saline finish. Perhaps a little closed down at the moment, this superb Romanée-Saint-Vivant needs another 4-5 years in bottle. Tasted at the Domaine de L’Arlot tasting at La Cabotte in London. (Drink between 2026-2055)
