Classic DRC where the floral sensation carried forward to the palate, making it a complete wine. The depth and complexity on the palate clearly showed the seriousness of the vintage. Drinking amazingly well now after 3 hour of aeration.

Much closer to the 96 than the 2001 but much more balanced and much tighter than the 2001 as well as heavier, for some people this was the favorite of the 3. Thanks Eugene, who said this showed as much more open. few weeks ago.

Gala Dinner 2023: (A) From a MAG. Small glass Ocean air and plum on the nose. Smooth and lovely, though not as exciting as the '03 drank a few days ago. 93+

(Romanée-Conti Romanée Saint-Vivant) The last 4 wines served together have virtually identical colours. Another panoramic nose, this time with hints of coffee and caramel. Swirling releases a burst of red fruits, not the ultimate in precision, but very nice. I love RSV and this wine typifies why, it’s warmer and more effusive than the GE, has gorgeous fruit that comes at you from all directions. The tannins are mouth-wrapping but dry only for an instant – like the kiss from a dusky maiden - sorry ladies? Without the ultimate intensity, but this wine still delivers an excellent finish – bravo. What can the last 3 wines do to counter that!
(DRC Romanee St. Vivant) This nose just jumps out of the glass wanting to please. Mint, forest floor, leather, game, mineral and dark fruits lurking underneath. Elegant and detailed. Now we are entering the sap zone. Just amazing pure fruit on the palate. Like exploding and ripe tiny fruits. So much and ripe tannins too. Sappy. Super long and echoing finish. Profound.
