RICHEBOURG 1971 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Richebourg 1971 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruLot 7790: u. 4.5cm, slightly bin-soiled label, modern label with Wilson Daniels import slip, believed late release, wrinkled capsule, Lot 7791: u. 6.5cm, label stamped with 'Interdiction d'exporter aux USA et en UK', cut capsule reveals domaine and vineyard branding, vintage branding slightly faded reveals 197 clearly visible, signs of seepage, otherwise excellent color, good clarityIn 2016, a winner at the Domaine in this vintage and still glowing, maybe with less power than when younger, but with all the lingering scent and allure. I could not put it down, studying the intricate fruit notes and all the nuances playing in the background. Serena Sutcliffe, MW 7790:1 mag (cn) 7791:1 mag (cn)Estimates are per lot
