VERY RARE JEROBOAM OF ROMANEE CONTI
Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Level: 4.0cm from cork; badly cracked and missing wax capsule, vineyard, vintage and domaine branded cork visible, lightly scuffed label
In original wooden case
"More complex [than the La Tâche], explosive aromas of roasted plum, blackcurrant and smoke; conveys an impression of brooding power. Very thick but with great vinosity and flavor definition. Combines the earthiness of Romane-Saint-Vivant, the density of Grands-Echzeaux and the mouthdusting tannins of La Tâche. A second sample showed even stronger fruit and greater concentration. From grapes picked with potential alcohol near 12.5 and chaptalized only slightly." Stephen Tanzer, IWC Issue 77, March/April 1998
