The dark ruby-colored 1999 Romanee-St.-Vivant displays raspberry, cherry, and blackberry aromas intermingled with freshly cut flowers. Medium to full-bodied and extremely spicy, this wine is packed with blackberries and black cherries. It is refined yet firm and highly structured. Its oak-laden finish reveals some alcoholic warmth. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2010. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083.
