The 1955 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti poured out quite a light colour but literally filled the room with a perfume of tea leaves, smoke, freshly pounded juniper berries, sandalwood and Autumn leaves (it didn’t really fill the room but it smelled terrific). In the mouth it was very sweet, very fine and very pretty, possessing great proportion and a length of flavour that was admirable.

Magnum's from1955 to celebrate my 55th birthday (Charlie Trotter's, Chicago IL): The DRC was my favorite wine. It started out in the glass, light in color, a great nose of Asian spice and rosewood. As it sat in the glass it progressively put on weight, the core of the fruit came out along withthe spice and even tea and subtle eucalyptus. The color darkened and improved in the glass, unbelievable! It was like being a witness to a ressurection. The wine just got better and better, amazing. It's probably still getting better.
