1998 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Romanee St. Vivant Grand Cru

A beautifully spicy nose is finally beginning to open to reveal wonderfully complex and spicy aromatics and fruit that is still 100% primary. The medium full, rich, spicy and intense flavors possess ripe tannins underpinning the considerable structural spine and it's clear that this will definitely require another 7 to 10 years in the cellar.
