Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 28, 2022 - Domaine Romanee Conti Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA): In a lineup of 7 DRC reds, this one generated the most discussion. Opinions were all over the map, the least consensus of any of the wines - except we all agreed the aroma was phenomenal.

My take was the aroma was soaring and magnificent, with classic Vosne spice and rose petals. The palate started with sweet fruit, but it fell a bit flat in comparison to the aromas. With air some astringency emerged and detracted from the experience.

If the astringent/green notes go away with time, this could be a top vintage for DRC Richebourg. However, that's quite an expensive gamble at today's prices, and I'd rather drink the seamless 2000 RSV served beside it.
