Description
The DRC's Romanee St.-Vivant is a tough wine to evaluate. I found the 1990 to have a pervasive earthy, cinnamon, clove, sweet fruit-scented nose intermingled with scents of spicy new oak. Although closed, the wine exhibits great depth, medium to full body, and copious quantities of hard tannins in the long, structured, austere finish. It requires a patient buyer. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2015.

Tasting note
1985年的DRC羅曼尼聖維望大特級園展現了勃艮第釀酒的精湛工藝。這款酒散發著迷人的泥土香氣、肉桂和丁香，甜美的果香和微妙的辛辣橡木香氣進一步豐富了它的香氣複雜性。口感深邃，酒體中等偏滿，堅實的單寧結構帶來了嚴謹而優雅的收結。這款酒目前顯得有些內斂，但對於願意等待的酒愛好者來說，它承諾著未來的成熟芬芳。建議醒酒兩小時，以充分欣賞其錯綜複雜的風味。搭配烤鴨或牛肉紅酒燉菜等豐富菜餚，將使用餐體驗更上一層樓。
The 1985 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is a testament to the art of Burgundian winemaking. With an alluring bouquet of earthy tones, cinnamon, and clove, this wine's aromatic complexity is further enriched by the sweet fruit essence and a hint of spicy oak. On the palate, it reveals a profound depth and a medium to full body, supported by a robust structure of firm tannins leading to an austere yet elegant finish. This wine, while showing a reserved character now, promises a blossoming maturity for those with the patience to wait. Decanting for two hours is recommended to fully appreciate its intricate profile. Pair it with rich dishes like roasted duck or beef bourguignon to elevate the dining experience.
