  November 20, 2021 - Wine Tasted at Acker Auction (Marea - New York NY): In 04/80/76 vertical. Wonderfully Vosne-styled spice with good weight, great length and supreme elegance. There is a subtle 2004 greenness that is impossible to ignore, but in this case it adds as much of an intriguing bitterness, rather than a sense of underripe fruit or pyrazines. Sneaky power on long finish.

  November 20, 2021 - JK's 50th Birthday: 01809/5603. Some notable greeness which blend well with the acidity. On this occasion not as expressive as the LT but an amazing wine for sure. 96+

  August 11, 2021 - A restaurant list bottle. Immediately open and singing. A lot of the RC characteristics of chemical box, red roses, violets and a bit of game on the nose, complex and inviting. Not crazy long in line with vintage expectations. But a really wonderful wine. DRC did well in 2004 and this is another proof.

  August 21, 2016 - Impressive for the vintage. I thought this could not be better than the spectacular 2004 La Tâche but it actually was. Aromas of rose, violet, orange peel, redcurrant and strawberries. Medium-bodied, long finish cashmeere tanins. Complex and subtle, fresh and elegant, deep and long. Clearly lived up to its legendary reputation, I think we were lucky to taste it at the right moment, at the right temperature and with the right persons (a sunday family lunch). One of my best wine ever. Thanks Dad :)

  June 19, 2010 - Perfect bottle. Top stand.
  Bottle no: 04501
  Aged colour. Look like a wine from -70s or -80s.
  Wonderful perfume. Complex, deep with fabulous presence.
  
  Extremely balanced, great complexity, elegant body.
  
  Red berries, burnt underbrush, meat, "Leroy-acidity", mineral, mineral and mineral :-)
  In the 3/4 the wine boosts some energy and performs a long wonderful finish, but not with the same dark energy like La Tache, but in a more sublime and elegant style.
  
  It's like to stare down into the black water in a big deep water well. You don't have a clue about it's fully depth.
  It's deep, dark, exciting and frightning.
  The acidity and mineral lingers through the wine like an eel in the water well.
  
  If I compare Romanée-Conti 2004 with the La Tache 2004, the La Tache have more dark energy, a more up front minerality and a green note.
  Conti is more subtle and sublime, and I feel I have to drink more with my mind and brain than with my nose and palate.
  
  Love this wine!! 97 - 98 points!
