In the mouth this wine is very long, revealing flavours of liquorice, blackcurrant and gingerbread with a lingering finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRP96\u003cbr\u003e\nRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nTasted blind at the annual \"Burgfest\" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Romanée St Vivant les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru from Louis Latour has the classiest nose of three Romanée Saint Vivant encountered, mineral-rich red berry fruit, effortless and surfeit with class. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, wonderful acidity and poise, silky smooth in the mouth with great precision on the lightly spiced finish. This might just well be the best recent vintage of any wine that I have ever tasted from Louis Latour. To say it drew gasps of surprise when its identity is revealed is no exaggeration.\u003cbr\u003e\nWS93\u003cbr\u003e\nWine Spectator\u003cbr\u003e\nRich and succulent, exhibiting sweet cherry and raspberry flavors framed by tobacco and spice accents. Elegant and beautifully balanced, finishing with a long, fruit-filled aftertaste. Best from 2019 through 2032.\u003cbr\u003e\nWW93\u003cbr\u003e\nWilfred Wong of Wine.com\u003cbr\u003e\nCOMMENTARY: One never has to think twice when getting a chance to taste a Romanée-St.-Vivant. As one of Burgundy's most treasured sites, this wine always delivers. The 2012 Louis Latour Les Quatre Journaux is a wine of outstanding merit. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits richness and balance. Enjoy its aromas and flavors of intense savory spices and exotic red fruits with wild game and morels.

There is a velvety texture to the highly sophisticated and delicious middle weight flavors that display fine mid-palate concentration before terminating in a beautifully complex, balanced and dusty finish. This is quite firmly structured and while the descriptor robust is rarely used in conjunction with the typical RSV, this example might very well qualify.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Latour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43864846565600,"sku":"114730","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/louis-latour-romanee-st-vivant-les-quatre-journaux_1_af9a2b49-d7fe-4f83-9a7b-567ecb3525fc.jpg?v=1676648993","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/louis-latour-romanee-saint-vivant-grand-cru-les-quatre-journaux-2012-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
