Details
Richebourg--Vintage 1949
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Lot 181 levels: two 8cm, one 6cm; lightly bin soiled labels, some wax and some lead capsules
Lot 182 levels: two 8cm, one 7cm; lightly bin soiled and nicked labels, short lead domaine embossed lead capsules
"An elegant, pure and intensely floral nose that is highly expressive, offering up a wonderfully broad panoply of spice nuances, warm earth and ample secondary fruit notes that include moderate amounts of sous bois that continue onto the rich, naturally sweet and refined medium plus weight flavors that possess a striking sense of underlying energy and about the only nit is the very slightly touch of acidity that is beginning to poke through on the gorgeously long finish. A wine of class and grace that should continue to drink well in this format for a long time to come." BH, Oct 16, 2008
