Romanée Conti 1991 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (1 BT)

Romanée Conti 1991

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Good level, label soiled and half missing, "Romanée" visible but not "Conti", "Romanée Conti" printed around base of capsule, French back label

A fraction paler than the very deep La Tâche. Immense refinement and breed on the nose, with a sweet, ripe violetty bouquet. Wild strawberries on the palate. Cherry kernels. Maraschino. Nutty. Fine silk and elegance. La Tâche 1991 is more massive, but this is pure harmony. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
