1999 DRC Romanee st Vivant - felt almost clunky next to the 2002 La Tache. You feel all the jagged tannic edges from how reserved the wine is. There’s oodles and poodles of material waiting in reserve that’s for sure but it never feels like it’s able to burst part that barrier and is still coiled around that core. It’s dark, brutish, reserved. I’d hold for longer to allow those tannins to shed.

This is so elegant and fine with great subtle complexity. Dark black cherry fruit coalesces with interesting notes of coal dust, smoked earth and dark spices. Layered and fine if a bit lighter than expected. Perhaps a bottle not stored perfectly over the years or one that's moved around a lot. While it's quite close to what it should be, it lacked some intensity and vigor. 93?

Burgundy Bachelor Party: One of the greatest vintages for DRC RSV. Enormously density with clean and precise fruit. As much as I enjoyed it, better in a decade and will live for many decades.
