ROMANéE-CONTI--VINTAGE 2006
DOMAINE DE LA ROMANéE-CONTI
LOT 924 IS OFFERED IN A CARTON
TASTING NOTE: AN EXTRAORDINARY AS WELL AS EXTRAORDINARILY INTENSE AROMATIC DISPLAY GREETS YOU FROM THE GLASS OF 2006 ROMANEE-CONTI. ROSE PETALS, GRIOTTE CHERRIES, ALMOND EXTRACT, MINT, AND CINNAMON ONCE AGAIN PUT ME IN MIND OF ARCHETYPAL PINOT WITH A SOUPCON OF GEWURZTRAMINER. THE REMARKABLE PERFUME AND SPICE CONTINUE INNER-MOUTH, ALLIED TO A SILKEN TEXTURAL REFINEMENT (AS IF THE TANNINS WERE SELF-DISSOLVING); TO PURE, FRESH, BUT NOT AT ALL SUPERFICIALLY SWEET CHERRY AND RASPBERRY ESSENCE; AND TO DEEP, MARROWY MEATINESS AND HINTS OF TRUFFLE AND FOREST FLOOR. THIS PIVOTS AT MIDPOINT, AS IT WERE THOUGH FAR MORE SUBTLY THAN DOES ITS RICHEBOURG SIBLING FROM PERFUME AND FRUIT TO ALMOST SINISTER ANIMAL AND MINERAL SUGGESTIONS. THE FINISH HERE IS AT ONCE POSITIVELY ETHEREAL AND DEEPLY, DARKLY MYSTERIOUS, LIKE LINGERING HARMONY AT THE EXTREMES OF AUDIBILITY. I SUSPECT IT WILL ALSO OUTLIVE THE OTHER WINES FROM THIS ESTATE AND VINTAGE. 98 POINTS. ROBERT PARKER, WINE ADVOCATE # 186 (DEC 2009)
