Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 13, 2020 - My first Dance with the mistress that is Domaine de la Romanée-Conti!
Opened and decanted roughly 4-5 hours before consumption.
Deep garnet red with lighter edges.
Incredible nose with Rose petals, spices and aged red fruit, mushroom and a lot of green herbs and bell pepper.
At first it doesnt show any age at all. Really youthful. However as it develops in the glass and opens up a bit it starts to shows more aging signs.
On the palate you get lots of red fruit, forrest floor, spice, some smokey and bloody notes and the acid is absolutely stunningly balanced with the fruit. The palate is much more youthful than the nose. Magic glass of burgundy. Balanced tannins but still with an edge. 1998, a rather weak vintage, made this good is exceptional.
Surely there is some brand hype here, but what a glass!
