Robert Arnoux Romanee St. Vivant 1999 750mL Size:750mL but needs four or five"A wonderfully spicy and once again intensely floral nose combines both red and dark currant scents with those of sandalwood and Asian style tea. The highly seductive medium weight flavors brim with dry extract yet there is no lack of vibrancy suffusing the youthfully austere and decidedly structured finish that displays outstanding depth and persistence. Patience is advised for this stunning effort." Burghound, BH94, tasted 1 2020
