Romanée-St-Vivant Robert Arnoux 1996 is a Grand Cru Burgundy from the renowned Romanée-St-Vivant vineyard in Vosne-Romanée. The wine exhibits a deep ruby colour, revealing its age and concentration. On the nose, expect an intricate blend of black cherry, forest floor and nuanced spice. The palate offers a robust texture supported by well-integrated tannins that have mellowed over time. This expression showcases the domain`s shift under Pascal Lachaux, reflecting a darker fruit profile unique to this bottle, with vibrant acidity still providing tension and lift.
96 Robert Parker
Displaying a brilliant, dark ruby with traces of purple color and an enthralling violet, cherry, raspberry, cassis, rose blossom, and grilled oak-scented nose, this wine is a stunner. This velvety-textured, full-bodied, superbly-balanced, refined, powerful, and intense wine is filled with highly detailed - yet explosive - plump cherries, blackberries, and plums. It is one of those magnificent red Burgundies that seemingly combine the muscle and strength of a body-builder with the grace and elegance of a ballerina. It possesses enormous depth of fat, sumptuous, and deeply ripe fruits that drench its substantial yet supple tannins. This prodigiously long wine offers red currants, raspberries, Asian spices, and new wood flavors in its spectacular finish. It should be at its peak between 2004 and 2012+. Bravo! - Pierre Rovani
94 Vinous
Deep red-ruby. Knockout nose combines raspberry, violet, coffee, licorice, spice and smoky oak. Superb richness and volume without excessive weight. Thick for a `96, but kept bright by tangy Oriental spices and a lively floral nuance. Extremely long on the aftertaste, with noble tannins. Classy juice.Stephen Tanzer1st March 1999
