Richebourg--Vintage 1955
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Levels: one 4.5cm, one 5cm, one 5.5cm; domaine embossed lead capsules, one sign of old seepage, lightly bin soiled labels, magnum numbers 8140, 8143, 8148
"A stunning nose of caramel and spice leads to delicious, pure, rich and fully resolved flavors that are still vibrant, all wrapped in a mouth coating and naturally sweet finish of enormous depth if not power that displays only a hint of thinning. The class shows and this is an unusually elegant '55 that is still drinking well and should continue to do so for years." BH, Nov 19, 2006
