MONTRACHET 2001 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Montrachet 2001 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Beaune, Grand CruBT# 02559, slightly damp stained labelNutty, lanolin nose. Oh, but the taste - absolutely huge, fat, rich, mind-blowing. Sweet greengages - explosive orange zests, allspice and ginger. Gingerbread finish with a final lime sign-off. Tasted again in 2009 at a wonderful dinner in Athens and as superb, and now as ready, as ever. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA (92-94)1 bt (cn)Estimates are per lot
