DOMAINE DE LA ROMANéE-CONTI
LOT 937 IS OFFERED IN A CARTON
TASTING NOTE: I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED TO SUCH A PROFUSION OF FLORAL PERFUME FROM THIS LEGENDARY SITE AS ROSE OVER THE GLASS OF 2007 ROMANEE-CONTI. HYACINTH, ROSE, GLADIOLA, AND IRIS ARE UNDERLAIN BY SCENTS OF MOSS-COVERED, DAMP STONE, WILD GINGER, AND DIVERSE TINY RED FRUITS. ROMANEE-CONTI CEST LE NEZ, REMARKS DE VILLAINE OF THIS ALMOST ETHEREAL PINOT. THE CONTRAST WITH THE MORE FLESHLY LA TACHE COULD NOT BE MORE DRAMATIC. BUT THIS DOESNT PULL BACK ON ITS SILKEN-TEXTURED PALATE, EITHER FAR FROM IT: ALONG WITH PERSISTENT INNER-MOUTH PROFUSION OF FLORAL PERFUME COME SAVORY, IRRESISTIBLY JUICY RASPBERRY AND POMEGRANATE AS WELL AS AN IMPRESSION OF MARROW-RICH, MULTI-BONED MEAT STOCK. A WAFTING, WAVE-LIKE FINISH HARBORS THE SORT OF EXHILARATING SHEER REFRESHMENT ONE LOOKS FOR IN WHITE WINE, AND A KALEIDOSCOPIC INTERCHANGE OF COLORFUL FLORAL, SPICE, FRUIT, CARNAL, AND MINERAL ELEMENTS SUCH AS FEW WINES OF ANY SORT CAN DELIVER. 96 POINTS.
