100% grand and premier cru vineyards

it's intellectual

This bone dry effort is beautifully well-balanced and because of the abundant extract it will be approachable young yet probably require at least a decade to arrive at its full apogee

Maybe there are better bottles out there

Louis Latour, Romanee Saint Vivant Quatre Journaux other_regions_italy (includes some declassified villages wine)This is a very understated wine with elegant, pure and extremely pretty spicy red fruit aromas followed by supple yet precise and focused middle weight flavors highlighted by a sappy, intense and persistent finish. Modern day Latour reds can often be on the light side but this offers solid concentration and more overall depth than usual. In short, this is lovely stuff. 92 2014+
