  Exceptional wine. The 2006 DRC Romanee St. Vivant is in a much higher class than the 2007 (which we drank last night and rated 90/100). The 2006 is complex with a long finish and layers of flavor. Drinking well now with primary, secondary, and early tertiary flavors. The earliest I plan to drink my next bottle will be 3-5 years. Nose of stewed cherries, raspberries, violets, vosne spice and cedar wood. The palate is endless with 2+ mins of flavor. Nicely integrated tannins and juicy acidity. Loads of slightly sweet tart cherry juice and a cool menthol flavor. Subtle black pepper and oak at the back of the palate; with a richness and smoothness that won’t stop. It’s absolutely delicious! A combination of refreshing and complex. And I can’t stop drinking it!

  The Papies join the 13,000 Tasting Notes Club (Paris, France): A heartbreak of a wine as really this was off. We could not find something to fault it but also did not feel right . Dull , flat and uninteresting wine lacking any charm and even with a few cooked fruit feel. Not sure it’s just Uber backward or our bottle ( AAA provenance) was just off . Heartbreak!

  (à l'av. chez C.)
  Teinte de Pinot, nez de Pinot, bouche de pinot. Nez magnifique, floral, épicé, un charme fou, l'expression parfait que je me fais d'un Vosne, fraise écrasée, rose, fleurs séchées / pot pourri, épices douces, croquant et frais pourtant. Au départ, la bouche est d'une sublime finesse, qui m'évoque un Clos St Denis tellement les tanins sont polis et aériens, puis à mesure qu'il se renforce, je perçois de plus en plus le boisé s'extravertir et assécher un peu la finale. Cela reste très beau, très Vosne de noble souche.
  Ce nez !!!...
  Peut-être que le millésime difficile, souvent un peu dur (ou sur les amers) a rendu difficile la fusion raisins/barrique; et je ne suis pas sûr que les années à venir amélioreront le phénomène . 92 la bouche / 97 le nez

  Wine Tasted at Acker Auction (Marea - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Intense red fruit is really dominated by the wine's structure, with classic DRC spice further in the background. This wine continues in a trajectory of closing down, seeming more backward each time I have the opportunity to taste it. I will not open a bottle until 2030 or later.

  12099/14202. Is it a really bad bottle or is it an easily spotted fake... this is not a drinkable wine, let alone DRC.
