Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru 2011 750ml

96 points Vinous

A wine of pure silkiness, finesse and lyric beauty, the 2011 Romanee St.-Vivant graces the palate with dried rose petals, mint, violets and bright red berries, all supported by super-polished, crystalline tannins. Cool veins of underlying minerality support the precise, articulate finish. The 2011 is an introspective Burgundy built for the cellar, but it is drop-dead gorgeous.
