Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 20
The 2019 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru was showing a bit of reduction on the nose compared to the other Grand Crus, which offers mainly black fruit with brown spices; the oak needs a few more weeks to fully assimilate. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, harmonious and silky in texture. It does not quite fan out as much as the Grands-Echézeaux by direct comparison, although it does feel very persistent. Give it 4–5 years in bottle.
