Elpaninaro Likes this wine:
May 3, 2019 - pale red color with heavy bricking, dark spice and cloves on the nose, dried cherries, savory herbs, on the palate plummy and most of all- spicy, velvety and alluring on the middle but ever so slightly hard around the edges, I have had a number of 1970s over the years and this is surely the finest one I have yet tried, and to answer the inevitable question that arises when one tastes La Romanee- this bottle has the volume and almost the relative proportion of spice that one might expect of a Romanee-Conti of similar age and vintage quality, but not anywhere near the spherical presentation or digitally defined detail, that said- this remains a very successful 1970 and even in the presence of some legendary wines I very much enjoyed it.
****, now to 2025, time in hand but I would drink fairly soon unless you want to save one for a particular milestone occasion or vertical tasting1 person found this helpful Comment
