"What few ‘66s from DRC I have tasted have all been utterly sublime and this 1966 Romanée St Vivant is no exception. Served blind, from first sniff it was clear that we were in the company of a very serious, mature Pinot Noir. The bouquet is utterly divine with incredibly detailed scents of tart red cherry, soy, orange peel and minerals, the true essence of that abstract 'pinoté.' The palate is perfectly balanced, the silver thread of acidity lending it tension and poise. Yet there is also an abiding sense of effortlessness, as if this wine has to do little to entrance, with just a lovely hint of salinity on the aftertaste. One of the finest wines I will taste this year. Stellar!"
