Romanée-Saint-Vivant--Vintage 1985
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Levels: one 2cm, one 3cm; very lightly corroded capsules at tops, one signs of old seepage, bottles 255-256
"A mature color but still showing lots of deep ruby color, this DRC showed a very exotic nose with a profusion of fresh and dried red berry fruit and fig, with notes of coffee, truffle, soy and miso. On the palate the wine was soft and generous - big, massive, even, but not overblown at all. Although the '85 reds were thought a bit soft when young, this hasn't gone porty or over-the-hill. Wonderful long finish." CC, June 2007
