Closed and tough, featuring tannic, austere character that's almost rustic. Offers plenty of redberry and blackberry flavors. Seems somewhat awkward and off-balance now, but it's a big wine and the potential is there. Try in 2005.

I am never as thrilled with the Romanee-St.-Vivant as are others. Certainly the 1993 possesses the tell-tale, earthy, cinnamon, herb, and black-cherry-scented nose with an undeniable strong mineral and vegetal component. The wine comes across as slightly rustic, with high tannin, and its toughness and compactness indicate it needs 8-9 years of cellaring. It may have the potential to last for two decades, but I am not sure how much fruit is going to emerge from behind the savage tannin level. It is medium-bodied and marked by its terroir. The DRC's 1993s possess the vintage's toughness, tannic structure, austerity, and aging potential. They will not be flattering to drink in their youth, and most will require 6-10 years of cellaring. Typical of the vintage, they appear to be the most tannic and structured wines made at this domaine since 1983.

Domaine de la Romanée Conti
Vous voici en présence du domaine le plus emblématique de Bourgogne, sinon de France voire du monde. Fort du monopole des deux plus grands vignobles – la Romanée-Conti et La Tâche – et d’une collection généreuse de vignes au sein de Vosne-Romanée et au-delà, cette propriété a su s'imposer tout en restant discrète et même modeste. C’est Aubert de Villaine qui dirige le navire - copropriété des familles Villaine et Leroy-Roch-, depuis 1974. Mais les origines de la Romanée-Conti sont bien plus anciennes, remontant au XIIIe siècle, lorsque les premières vignes furent plantées par les moines de Saint-Vivant. La viticulture biologique a été adoptée dans les années 1980, préambule à l’introduction de la biodynamie dans les années 1990. C'est sans doute aussi le domaine le plus célèbre de la région pour la mise en œuvre (depuis toujours) de la fermentation en grappes entières. Cette technique bien établie a été écartée par Henri Jayer, mais a inspiré bien d'autres vignerons ces dernières années. Allen Meadows, sans doute l'expert et critique le plus averti au monde en matière de Bourgogne, n'a décerné une note parfaite qu’à un seul vin - le Romanée-Conti 1945.
