Description
Romanée Conti 1991
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru
Levels into the neck, 1 heavily bin-soiled, torn, and partially missing label, vintage neck label, and back label, signs of old seepage, 1 scuffed capsule
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.
