March 22, 2023 - (TST) Small glass
A beautiful nose of spices, mixed berries and a hint of herbs. Clean, pure and concentrated. Such a well-made '03. 94 -

February 26, 2023 - this is indeed quite punchy, solar. Yet the wine has a good acidity balance and shows well. Would give it more time.

July 16, 2022 - Silky, velvet and masculine. Unlike typical Romanee St. Vivant profile, 2003 was a hot year and tasted like New World pinot noir. We drank it with 2004 vintage which was a big contrast since 2004 was a cool vintage.

January 10, 2022 - A very good wine overall, but a bit of a disappointment somehow given the high expectations. Very nice purity of fruit, but the wine lacks a bit of both balance and elegance. Lovely texture, good length, refined tanins, but on another hand the wood has not been fully integrated and one can feel the "heat effect" from this challenging vintage. Not convinced by this bottle, although it is fair to say we nevertheless all enjoyed drinking it. A very pleasant drink,not an emotional one.

September 1, 2021 - Sweet black cherry aromas come out strongly, then after an hour or so roses and perfume emerge more. Ripe, dense, full bodied, sweet fruit and velvety texture, lower on acids but still retains freshness. Long finish, lingering notes of plums

3/1/2006 (link)(Romanée-Conti Romanée Saint-Vivant) The nose is instantly brighter, redder and more 'round'. Softer and perhaps less precise but with an intense and persistent weight of fruit at its centre. The palate is full-wrapped velvet, though despite the fineness of these ripe tannins I'm a little concerned by their abundance. This wine is quite different to the GE, with even more extract that leads to a drying impression into the finish - full-on, rather than graceful and the flavours don't quite etch into the palate like those of the GE. Looking to the long-term, there is a cool and concentrated quality to the fruit and the tannin will anyway lessen with time, and the glass was also emptied rather easily!
