1999 François Parent Romanée St. Vivant

Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Pinot Noir more

3/5/2024 - jmoore431 Likes this wine: 92 points

Just a little over 5 years since I cracked one of these; this is still pretty clenched and crunchy. Made from purchased grapes, this is very traditionally styled with loads of fruit buried beneath slowly resolving tannins. I have a few of these left but wouldn’t touch another for at least five years.
92+ with at least a couple more points potential yet to come.

Annual Xmas Dinner (Monday Wine Group) @ Lucia's - Chicago. Decanted three hours prior. Showing surprisingly well, but still a bit tight with incredibly concentrated gorgeous fruit and earthy terroir. Great balance of fruit, acid and tannin not completely merged into what this will eventually be. Very fine now (93) should develop into 95-96 with a few years time. God, I love the 2005's.

Showing notes of aging, but with lots of fruit left, needs some air for tannin to soften, very good at this point

Pommard / NSG 1ers: Incredibly fresh for a 1990 with vibrant dark red fruit. Quite heavy-handed on the extraction, old-school Burgundy that is hard as nails.

3/1/22 surprising depth and mouthfeel with a bit of opulence. A bit of sauvage behind the fruit. Still quite fresh and in great drinking condition. Very good 91

Decanted for 1h, it opened significantly. Beautiful and precise nose of lemon zest, pop corn with some flinty reduction. Crisp and elegant on the palate, good volume. A racy wine that I really liked. Young, decanting advised. 94-95.

Burgundy lunch at San Shu Gong: Similarly bricking in colour to the Bertheau 08. The wine was a little rustic but still elegant that made me think of CdN incorrectly. Was thinking MSD with the blue fruits or Gevrey with meatiness, but someone managed to guess Pommard impressively. This producer gets a bad rep for oak use but it was well-integrated here.

PnP. Earthy nose with some red fruit - which is quite nice. The palate is however quite flat, with most of the fruit gone. Pretty flat.

Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more

10/7/2021 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NR

Complex aromatics of pine needles, aniseed, black earth, camphor and dark fruits. The palate is at that mid-development point, still quite fresh, with a few savoury notes sneaking in. It is relatively firm through the mid-palate and has a touch of extractive bitterness to the finish. Not bad but not great Echezeaux.

Clear medium red. Very nice fresh nose, red flowers, red cherry and a tiny bit of developing barnyard. Dry floral, spicy red cherry flavours and a very nice dry floral finish.

Needs time.

Drinking very nicely now after giving it some air. No one will mistake this for a top of the line, but still it is a 100% varietally correct French Burgundy. Floral on the nose did not translate entirely to the taste, but still quite enjoyable. Second night it had a little prune ish taste to it that disappeared after I gave it some more air. Very nice for the price, but I'd drink by EOY 2021. A tad bit more robust than middle of the road, but certainly not an alcohol or fruit bomb. Recommend.

Notes of red berry, sous bois; medium bodied, elegant and balanced, soft on the palate, but with good structure. Not particularly complex.

Bottle breathe for 45 min. Nice nose with some red fruit and flower at opening, but disappeared quickly. The nose is quite shy with a bit of fruit, the palate is a bit thin, with tea and branches dominating. Medium finishing. The wine did not evolve much in the next 2 hours, but it's drinkable

Very savoury Burgundy. It’s still rich, nice, especially if you are in the mood to avoid fruit driven wine, but I wouldn’t age this any longer.

Great wine. Still feeling far too young as so much oak and savoury notes. My wife felt quite Tart and bitter in some aspects. Got better with air, so you need to decant this a few hours or let it age in the cellar. Looking forward to trying again. I think this could be great in 3-5 years

Can’t help feeling I drank this about 10 years too soon. Still tannic. Got some chocolate on the nose and was certainly better after an hour in the decanter.
