ROMANEE CONTI 1996 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée Conti 1996 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruBT #996, heavily bin-soiled label, straw and paper stuck on label, slightly torn vintage neck labelThe total experience in this great vintage. The bouquet has everything. Violets, peat, raspberries. A mind-blasting total taste. A huge mouthful of wild cherries with plummy fruit, liquorice, all backed up by terrific tannin and ace acidity. Peat and black cherries on the finish. Monumental wine - a pillar of the vinous century in Burgundy. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA (96-98)1 bt (cn)Estimates are per lot
