ROMANEE CONTI 1999 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée Conti 1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand Cruvery slightly scuffed label, damaged wax capsule partially missing, slight sign of old seepageLa 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.
