This is like staring into an abyss but being overwhelmed with joy. The essence of fine pinot noir and of Burgundy which you don?t need to be any kind of expert to appreciate. Enormously concentrated but so graceful this makes you want to forget everything else you are supposed to be doing. Lean back and let yourself be overwhelmed. Drink or hold.
bhThe king of the cellar is the 2019 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru Les Quatre Journaux a full-bodied layered and muscular wine that's rich and concentrated evocative of peonies blackberries and exotic spices. Long and penetrating this is very promising.
Moderate wood and menthol influences stop short of fighting with the much spicier and more expressive aromas of plum liqueur violet and exotic jasmine tea. There is very good volume and reasonably good detail to the nicely textured and lingering finale where the only nit is enough warmth to mention. (Drink starting 2034)
