April 25, 2021 - Masterpiece. Distinctly in its own category beyond each of the other DRC vineyards. I find that this is holding back on some of the house style of stems, concentration, and slight oak polish, and trends into more of a Jayer-like dimension of purity, light effortlessness, freshness, ethereal earth character, and cerebral nuance and complexity. Shockingly restrained and refined. Hauntingly beautiful. Not ostentatious or obvious, this is an image of beauty, detail, balance, seamless and harmonious nature. There is spice and florals similar to each of the other wines in the lineup, but this is actually the least stylistically ‘DRC’ of the bunch in a somewhat reserved way. I didn’t really see the hoisin darkness / exoticness to the spice, think more pure and fresh, delicate and detailed above refined red and black cherry. Shockingly open for business, like the rest of the portfolio tonight. This rendered the table silent for several minutes as everyone nosed and tasted. Spellbinding.

April 22, 2021 - Conti Sweet, floral, forest, delicate yet flamboyant aromatics. Fully resolved on palate with sweetness and balance, if slightly clipped. (2246/6407)

March 3, 2020 - Domaine dinner with Aubert de Villaine at WS (WS New York): Another tough vintage, but the striking part of this one is how weightless it feels without comprising strength and depth.

By Bill Nanson
7/1/2004 (link)(Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti) Unlike London, the bottles here consistently showed no ruby tones - virtually the same shade of medium, medium-plus cherry red as the other wines. Versus La Tâche there's more obvious spice that goes together with a melange of red and black fruits. Given time in the glass there's a higher-toned floral aspect. Sweet, concentrated palate that is a little understated, but continues to understate itself for over a minute on the finish! Slowly evolves a cedary aspect to the finish.

3/1/2004 (link)(Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti) In the tasting glass, this wine is a shade lighter in colour vs La Tâche, it's also the only wine in the line-up to show some ruby colour. The nose starts with a blast of fruit and spice - very much like La Tâche - but closes down much faster. A quarter of an hour with the glass yields a few more floral notes, and then something a little green that morphs into a cedary pencil-lead note. The palate is very round, without the initial fireworks of the La Tâche, in fact it's very understated. This is a wine that you could easily overlook after La Tâche and the RSV, but what sets it apart is the crystalline purity of fruit in the mid-palate and the faint but haunting finish. Very special
