(Hedonist's Gazette) One of the most stunning wines of the entire flight... an underrated vintage that I had been relatively high on for years. Notes of herbs, underbrush, meat, and sweet red and black fruits jump from the glass...
This possesses a clasic RSV nose with kaleidoscopic aromas of Vosne spice, black fruit and hints of earth and violets... genuinely stunning complexity and exceptional length... at its apogee though it should last for another 20 years...
Good colour. Lovely poised concentrated nose. Real elegance. On the palate tannins a bit dry at first. The fruit is lovely though. Very intense. Very long.
Domaine Marey Monge farmed out the Romanee St. Vivant vineyard to Domaine De La Romanee-Conti starting in 1966. In 1988 Domaine De La Romanee-Conti bought Domaine Marey Monge.
