Description

Romanée Conti 1988 

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

u. 4cm, slightly scuffed label, slight signs of old seepage, scuffed capsule

Vintage started 28 September. Deep colour, crimson, has lost blue notes. Glorious nose of black cherries; heather and all of the maquis on the nose - imposing. Taste: youthful, very good balance of fruit, tannin, acidity. Tannins less camouflaged than in '89 - more apparent - wonderful raspberries on the palate. Chewy. A keeper. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
