Romanée-Saint-Vivant--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
One bin soiled label, bottles numbered 00123, 00126, 04506, 04507
"A gorgeously spicy and seductively complex nose that is still quite primary and the fruit spectrum is almost completely black followed by tight, primary, intense, structured flavors that at the moment don't quite seem to have adequate buffering fat. This finishes with class, grace and fine length though there is a dry edginess and it is not clear that this will ever completely harmonize. A very good rather than genuinely great effort. Multiple and consistent notes." BH, Dec. 19, 2005
