ROMANEE CONTI 1997 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée Conti 1997 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruBT#00647, wine stained label, very slight sign of seepage, very slightly scuffed capsule, excellent level, color and clarityHeavenly 'sweet', ripe nose. Deeply scented projection. A mouthful of best Burgundian terroir, untrammelled fruit and multi- dimensional flavour. This is a Romanée-Conti that will turn gamey - I am convinced it will be the grouse wine 'par excellence' in ten years' time. Glorious rich, gummy, thick yet elegant texture. Renoir in the glass! Unfolds endlessly. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 951 bt (sc)Estimates are per lot
