Romanée Conti 1999

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Levels into the neck, slightly damp-stained labels, 1 scuffed label, 2 nicked labels, Magnums No. No. 00001 - 00004 and No. 00006

La Tâche may have the grandeur and the flamboyance in this vintage, but Romanée-Conti has the balance, the breed and the endless finish. DRC really did attain perfection this year, for which they can be justifiably proud, while we can be eternally grateful. It is the power and the nobility of bouquet and taste that really set these wines apart in 1999 and Romanée-Conti itself epitomises these qualities. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
