ROMANEE CONTI 1971 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée Conti 1971 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruBt #03459, slightly bin soiled label, slightly sunken cork, capsule cut to reveal fully branded corkIn the past, I have sometimes been disappointed by this wine, finding it dry, but in 2010 there was a bottle direct from the Domaine that was hauntingly delicious. It had a liqueur-like nose and was mature and even nutty on the palate, with that inimitable long, lingering finish that is a strong signature. One dwelt on it for as long as possible!
