Joseph Drouhin, Romanee Saint Vivant Vintage:1996 I would add that theseAiry, pure, elegant and extremely expressive as the aromas just float from the glass with rose petal and assorted floral notes. The mineral infused, racy and finely delineated flavors are nuanced and textured though the backend has a somewhat dry and edgy quality to it that is highlighted by the racy finishing acidity.
