1987 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru

"Initially, the nose was quite elegant and almost exuberantly spicy but after 30 minutes of air strong secondary aromas began to emerge bringing pungent earth, leather and hints of sous bois to the party. The flavors are delicious and still firmly structured, particularly so relative to the density of the mid-palate." - Burghound
