La Romanée Grand Cru, Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair

Note:

A decidedly restrained but more elegant nose offers up various floral elements that include lavender and rose petal along with various spice and red berry fruit scents. Several of the wines in the range possess beautiful textures and mouthfeels but the exquisitely delineated, vibrant and stony flavors are silky to the point of resembling liquid lace if such a thing existed, while exhibiting stunningly good persistence on the harmonious and superbly well-balanced finish. This mildly austere effort is restrained and cool yet it cannot hide its evident class. In sum, this is simply at another level.
