Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Romanée-St. Vivant Pinot Noir 2002
Highly aromatic, indeed almost kaleidoscopic in the sheer breadth of aromas but it's the spice that is so remarkable though it is now cut with floral and stem hints that add depth. The medium-bodied flavors are quite fine with beautiful detail, indeed they are chiseled, and a drop dead gorgeous velvety texture that is soft in the middle yet quite firm on the exceptionally long finish that still displays the slightest hint of wood. The overall character here is rather discreet and understated and while there is plenty of character, it's clear that this is built along the lines of elegance and finesse...

wow. Exceptionally plush and deep. Luxuriant red and blue fruit but with a sappy soft plasticine quality. Really plush and lush and delicious with great clarity and purity. Again, wow

What a nose. Impossible to describe. A nice mustiness but beautiful flowers. Some earth balance. Not replicable. Could go a few more years. Still tannic although nicely integrated. Just magnificent.

From mag. This is special. What a nose! Orange, rose, cherry. So soft and defined. Acacia, floral notes. Exceptional stuff.

This was one of the best showings of the DRC RSV. Perfect 100 pt nose with a full display of the red & black fruits, soaring Asian spice in an elegant, floral style. Happy New Year!

Crazy good! The 02 is such a great vintage for DRC & this was drinking well. Polished & finessed with soaring aromatics.

A baby. Should have been double decanted at 10 in the morning. Stalky. Initially had a sulfur, pyrazine nose. That blew off, but the wine didn’t really come into balance. Wait 5-10 years. NR.
