Tasting Notes

92-95
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Apr 15
A huge, towering wine, Cathiard's 2013 Romanée St. Vivant could easily be mistaken for a Richebourg, so tannic and imposing is its structure. Layers of dark, dense fruit open up with explosive energy and towering lift. The RSV is going to require considerable patience, but it is absolutely compelling today.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 02 Jan 15
The 2013 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru was showing a bit of reduction when I tasted it from barrel. With some rigorous coaxing it reluctantly reveals wild strawberry mixed with bergamot and rose petals, hints of fig jam in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins and a palpable sense of energy and precision. There is symmetry on the end that you look for in a Grand Cru, and a persistent finish that goes on and on and on. Superb, but what else would you expect?

100% new oak. 70-year-old vines. Very heady and ripe. Super glorious dried-cherry effect on the palate. Real race and life. But, again, it seems to close down on the finish. (JR)
