Domaine Follin-Arbelet - Romanée St. Vivant 2017 (750ml)

Vinous 96 points
"The 2017 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is clean and precise on the nose, one of the most crystalline that I encountered during the blind tasting, offering seamlessly integrated oak, brilliant delineation and shimmering red fruit laced with orange sorbet. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, gentle grip, fine delineation and beguiling symmetry. This perhaps conveys more energy on the finish compared to other Grand Crus, though there is a lot of new oak to be subsumed with time. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting."

"Excellent intense vivid fresh crimson purple. Brilliant dense rich ripe fruit, very gorgeous, but how fine? And fine enough it is, just the great weight of fruit which dominates. High acidity again but this is pretty special."
