Reviews of 2002 Romanee Conti, Domaine de la Romanee St Vivant Pinot Noir
94 points, Burghound
January 2005
Highly aromatic, indeed almost kaleidoscopic in the sheer breadth of aromas but it's the spice that is so remarkable. The flavors are quite fine with beautiful detail and a drop dead gorgeous velvety texture that is soft in the middle yet quite firm on the terrifically long finish. The overall character here is rather discreet and understated and while there is plenty of character, it's clear that this is built along the lines of elegance and finesse rather than the robust power and punch of the Grands Echézeaux. Moreover, it has put on weight since it was bottled and while it's not quite as good as the '01, it's not far off.

Mocha, toasted oak, and roasting spices are discerned in the nose of the light to medium-bodied 2002 Romanee-St.-Vivant. Its suave, silky-textured attack reveals impressive black cherry and blackberry flavors intermingled with cafe au lait as well as violets. This light to medium-bodied wine’s mid-palate has terrific mouth-feel yet its lengthy finish displays some firm tannin that will require patience. Drink it between 2009 and 2016.

Good deep red. Sappy black raspberry, strawberry, coffee and earth, complicated by roasted herbs and smoke. Broad and spicy but quite firm; less sweet and open today than the foregoing examples but primary and juicy. Finishes very long, though, with firm, building tannins.

About the Winery Romanee Conti, Domaine de la
"Domaine de la Romanee-Conti is without question the most famous estate in Burgundy and arguably the greatest. The domaine has 25 hectares of vineyards, all Grand Crus, including the jewel in the crown, the 1.8 hectare monopole of Romanée-Conti. Yields are mind numbingly low and the winemaking is traditional and perfectionist."
