A MARVELLOUS COLLECTION OF SUPERB WINES FROM DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI, VINTAGES 1990 TO 2002
Recently shipped from an excellent private cellar in Northern Europe and now lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Romanée-Conti Grand Cru--Vintage 1990
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Bottle number 06606
Tasting Note: The 1990 Romanée-Conti should ultimately be the most compelling and complex of the DRC wines. Normally it possesses a lighter colour than either La Tâche or Richebourg, but in 1990 it boasts a surprisingly saturated colour that is the equal of La Tâche and Richebourg. The nose offers up sweet, clove, cinnamon, and blackberry aromas intermingled with toasty, smoky new oak. Lavishly rich and full-bodied, with abundant tannins, this profound, surprisingly large-scaled, tannic wine boasts more muscle than usual. Let's hope that the billionaires that buy it have as much taste as money. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2025. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 83 (Oct 1992)
