January 19, 2024 - great to see that the 2005s are getting so ready - tannins not disturbing anymore - but this will still grow in stature over time.

January 13, 2024 - You’d expect wow but no. Hate to say but this felt a touch mature and unbalanced despite being ex-domaine. Palate lacked delineation. (9964/18392)

December 26, 2023 - Nose like red fruit basket few minutes after being picked. Dense palate with slightly grippy tannins. Would wait 5-10 more years to open the next botle if I had this in my cellar (which I don't)

November 8, 2023 - Slightly more open than a year ago. Slow-oxed for an hour. The fruit spectrum was quite dark, especially for a RSV, which was not surprisingly for vintage. Still a bit coiled but clearly immense potential. It was very dense and rich. Best to wait for another 5-7 more years.

September 26, 2023 - Hail the greatness that is 2005. Cool, calm and collected, vibrant, chalky with a precise intense fruit behind. Still a young wine, certanly, slowly entering it's drinking window, but very hard to resist. 96+

Burgundy-Report

By Bill Nanson
4/1/2008 (link)(Romanée-Conti Romanée Saint-Vivant) A heavy, heady scent of roses, spice and meat - eventually the smoky stems make a cameo. The palate has the freshness of the Echézeaux, but also the tight concentration of the ‘GE’. The spine of acidity is very lovely, flowing right through the centre of the wine - but everything here is on a low, subtle level. It eventually takes on a slightly plumper impression in the mid-palate, but it mainly remains behind a veil.
