ROMANEE-SAINT-VIVANT OF THE GREAT 1985 VINTAGE
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru--Vintage 1985
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Four with Leroy capsules, slightly scuffed and six with DRC capsules, one good and five stained. Bin-soiled labels two very slightly damaged. Levels: 3.5cms. below base of capsules or better
Tasting note: My highest overall mark at the St-Vivant Vertical (1978-1991) in November 1995: exuberantly fragrant, soft mocha, then walnuts and autumnal berries; expanded quickly in the mouth, glorious flavour and finish. Three months later: very sweet, rich, delicious. Drink now or keep another 5 years or so. ***** M.B. (Feb 1996)
