[TN] Saint Romain Drouhin 1998

Dec 12, 2003 1 Replies
[c] Pale gold. [N] Minerals, mature fruit, vanilla (oak) [P] Rich and complex - nuts, almonds (even a whiff of bitter almonds), yellow fruit, very rich and lasting. At a semi-posh restaurant in Helsingborg, SEK 395, which by Swedish standards is fairly acceptablet (see what we have to put up with). Great value from one of the minor communes in the Cote d´Or, but from one of the major producers. Self is of the opinion (no humility is expressed in ths statement) that Drouhin seldom does anything wrong.

Cheers

Well, I don't know about that, but I'd agree that Drouhin does the wrong thing a lot less frequently than most other negociants! Clearly in top ranks. Though I tend to steer mostly towards their reds. Thanks for the notes! Dale
