Domaine de l'Arlot - Romanée St.-Vivant 2020 (750ml)

Vinous 98 points
"The 2020 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet with fine delineation, redcurrant and raspberry fruit, hints of candied orange peel and just a little camphor. Yet there is a discreetness that I admire, and it unfolds wonderfully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, nicely detailed, fresh and marine-influenced. It is very harmonious; there's a very grandiose finish that lingers seductively. One of the best wines that I have ever tasted from the Domaine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting."

Burghound, Jan-22, Issue #85
(Domaine de l'Arlot Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Red) "An exuberantly floral and spice-suffused nose speaks mostly of black cherry and raspberry notes trimmed in soft wood. The notably finer medium weight flavors possess excellent verve and precision and particularly so on the moderately austere and hugely long finish that is even more structured than the Clos des Forêts. Impressive but patience suggested. (Drink starting 2035)  92-95 points"

"An attractive glowing ruby purple colour, with a wealth of fruit on the nose. Heady, striking, perhaps a little bit of alcohol as this is plush, some acidity and drier tannins behind. Boiled strawberry sweets, though much more attractive than that sounds. A plump and exuberant wine."
