Romanée Saint Vivant, Domaine Dominique Mugneret 2010

**Note: Mugneret attends to the vineyard work for the .50 ha parcel owned by Maurice Poisot located in the Les Quatre Journaux climat; 2 barrels produced**
A more subtle and better integrated touch of wood adds a bit of nuance to the elegant and high-toned anise, clove, cinnamon and hoisin-infused black berry fruit nose and this spiciness continues onto the rich, ripe and strikingly intense flavors that are sweet and suave yet manage to retain a fine sense of detail on the seductive and notably long finish. A lovely effort with excellent underlying material.
