Bid on this bottle of 1983 DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru (91BH). Burghound: "Somewhat remarkably given the production level, I hadn't tried this since 1995. Bricked through. A notably ripe and highly expressive nose combines both secondary and tertiary aromas that are liberally laced with spice, floral and soft Asian tea-like aromas. There is still very good density and richness to the medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a solidly complex finish that is not overly '83 like in the sense of being excessively tannic though there is a hint of backend dryness."

The Romanée-St.-Vivant is very spicy, a little rustic, but tannic and big. The 1983 vintage for Domaine de la Romanée-Conti was a very tough year. First there was hail, then the advent of rot in August thanks to the tropical heat and humidity. When the harvest occurred, the domaine instructed its pickers to pick the grapes, not the grape bunches, by hand and to discard all of the rotten grapes. The results are splendidly concentrated, rich wines … (RP)
