April 28, 2024 - at father in law's birthday, his 88th! But this was still way too tight and not giving much... how long would this take to really find it's optimum level? maybe in 10years or more? Patience will be rewarded handsomely, for sure... but tonight it was a huge disappointment as it really wasn't opening, just giving hints of how great this will be in a long time... ah well.

July 10, 2020 - Started a bit tart with strong barnyard aromas. Got better with time and came together a bit. But agree with others, not a TOP level DRC.

June 13, 2020 - My first Dance with the mistress that is Domaine de la Romanée-Conti!
Opened and decanted roughly 4-5 hours before consumption.
Deep garnet red with lighter edges.
Incredible nose with Rose petals, spices and aged red fruit, mushroom and a lot of green herbs and bell pepper.
At first it doesnt show any age at all. Really youthful. However as it develops in the glass and opens up a bit it starts to shows more aging signs.
On the palate you get lots of red fruit, forrest floor, spice, some smokey and bloody notes and the acid is absolutely stunningly balanced with the fruit. The palate is much more youthful than the nose. Magic glass of burgundy. Balanced tannins but still with an edge. 1998, a rather weak vintage, made this good is exceptional.
Surely there is some brand hype here, but what a glass! -

February 9, 2020 - Sommelier Appreciation Dinner 2020 (The Brown Residence): Really masculine and structured Burgundy. Cherry, strong cedar, white button mushroom, only a hint of sous bois and earth. Very good concentration, a bit angular, still noticeable tannins, good acidity, earthy mineral and a medium to long slightly dry red fruit driven finish. For my palate, it still needs another decade to gain additional tertiary notes.
