Great acidity helped this wine display the spherical perfection that is Romanee Conti. Everything is in perfect balance and although this wine is now delicate it did improve after 45 minutes of air. Drink up because the acidity is noticeable but not intrusive. A real beauty at 59 years old. Wow wine!!

A subtle, mid-weight wine of lovely balance and proportion. There's some beef stock to the aroma along with floral spice and red fruits. It has a sweet and rich middle palate and good minerally detail. The finish fans out and it has very good persistence.

Increadibly youthfull, almost to the point of making me wonder if it’s a genuine bottle. Crushed, over-ripe raspberries, violets, tobacco, some decaying leafs. Still quite noticable tannins on the finish. Very long, I can still taste som of the components 5 minutes after the last sip. Not to intense but very good.

A tough and uninviting nose. Initially nice on the palate but fell off quickly.
