  Mittleres Rubinrot. Rauchige Nase, ein Hauch Tabak, darunter Kirschen, ein Mix aus roter und dunkler Beerenfrucht, darüber Gräser und Orangenblüten, mit mehr Luft Bergamotte und eine deutliche Mineralität, sehr komplex. Im Gaumen rund und zugänglich, feine, bereits gut verpackte Tannine, eher warm im Charakter, jedoch mit guter Säure und einem milden, runden, harmonischen Abgang auf eher dunkle Beeren. Dürfte in jeder Phase seines Lebens Spass machen. 2024-2040, 93 vvPunkte

  More raw and unpolished than the Ech next to it. Actually, the nose showed some blood as well as roasted thyme, stems and candied citrus rind. A lot of character here.
  
  A touch of leather, somewhat anglular with a lot of structure and a very, very long finish driven by pine/cedar.

  Notes de vvWine
  2020, Corton Grand Cru, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, France, Bourgogne.Rouge rubis moyen. Nez fumé, un soupe de tabac, et par coup des cerises, un mélange de baies rouges et de fessi-res foncées, au-dessus des graminées et des fleurs d'orange, avec plus de bergamamot d'air et une minéralité distincte. Au palais rond et accessible, de tanins fin, déj' bien évest, de nature plutot'ot chaud, mais avec l'acidement et la fin une bonne, ronde et harmonie sur les baies pudobs. Vous vous amuser en regardant le film. 2024-2040, 93 vvpots

  2020 Romanée Conti Vintage Horizontal: All bottles were opened a few hours earlier, not decanted, but we had enough time to follow each wine for over an hour in the glass, which allowed for proper aeration and analysis. A few observations: 1) Without question, 2020 is a good vintage for the DRC. Similar to what I experienced in Bordeaux, the wines are less hedonistic and seductive than in 2019 (or 15/18), but have a little less substance. However, they shine with their purity of flavors, their lower ripeness and, above all, their superb freshness and airy texture. Classic. 2) The quality of the tannins is on a good level, but many of the reds will need time to soften. Today the Corton, RSV and RC were the only reds that did not show some hard edges. 3) La Tache (95pts) and (as always) the RC (93pts) were tight, even tighter than usual, only hinting at their potential. The top two reds, as in previous years, were the ever-improving, delicate RSV (97pts) and the deep, powerful and concentrated Richbourg (96pts). 4) The whites: The second vintage of CC (97pts) is outstanding (and my wine of the tasting), with lots of flint and toasted sesame notes and superb freshness and less overt weight than the Bonneau du Martray. The Montrachet (91pts), usually my favorite, was a bit underwhelming vs expectation, lacking the usual substance and poise, but it may just be in a dump phase.
  
  TN: Expressive, intense bouquet with fresh dark berries, lots of spices, some stems and earthy notes. Quite complex, superb precision and exciting. Same intensity on the palate with a fresh blue and dark red fruit core, loads of spices, stems and earthy notes. The wine has a lot of freshness. The harmony is on a good level although the acidity is not yet perfectly integrated. Easy drinking, not as much substance as the others and not as ethereal but still great. The DRC Corton’s are getting better and better every year. 94pts.
