ROMANEE CONTI 2013 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée Conti 2013 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruBt #0233617.5 hl/hectare. Picked in just one afternoon on 8 October. In 2016, an immensely 'winning' scent, silky sweet, redcurranty and smoky. The fruit has a nobility of its own. A tawny splendour on the palate, with a completely different profile to every other vineyard in the 'stable'. A lovely, sweet glycerol finish is the ultimate sign-off, promising (and delivering) eternal hedonistic pleasure. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 971 bt (owc)Estimates are per lot
