The Cathiard 2005 Romanee-St.-Vivant evinces aromas and flavors of ripe cassis and black raspberry, tinged with pepper, clove, star anise, iris, and citrus rind. Lush and enveloping on the palate, with a flattering, creamy texture, this trades a bit of the clarity that other wines displayed here today for sheer richness and ripeness of finish. But the length certainly bespeaks grand cru. Also recommended: 2005 Bourgogne ($39.00;85).

Not surprisingly, this easily possesses the most aromatic breadth of any wine in the range with an utterly kaleidoscopic nose ranging from Asian spice to rose and violet-infused floral notes that are at once delicate, pure and seductive while complementing to perfection the rich, subtle and understated middle weight plus flavors that are superbly precise and intense while offering more minerality than usual, all wrapped in a finish that is sheer silk. This is one classy wine that won't necessarily wow you with its power but the refinement and poise are riveting.
