Estimate
Gentle at first, offering rose petal aromas, it turns quite savage and tough on the palate, with loads of fruit cloaked in the very firm tannin structure. The acidity is there, and the length is terrific, but it needs time.
There is excellent intensity and detail to the delicious middle weight flavors that possess really lovely focus on the lingering and reasonably well-balanced finish.
...has a dense, ripe, and expressive character. It is a delicious, medium-to-full-bodied, refined, highly-delineated, and toasty cherry-flavored offering. Drink (and smell!) it between 2002 and 2012.
As though rich, ripe Pinot just rubbed itself over the palate! Actually very youthful with marked fine tannins but no excess of acidity. Lots of zest and life – really racy. Such a fine filigree texture.
Domaine Marey Monge farmed out the Romanee St. Vivant vineyard to Domaine De La Romanee-Conti starting in 1966. In 1988 Domaine De La Romanee-Conti bought Domaine Marey Monge.
