A RARE METHUSELAH OF 1976 ROMANEE CONTI
A pristine example of large format Romanée-Conti, from a respected New York connoisseur. Stored in temperature and humidity control since purchase.
Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1976
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Level: 3cm; wax capsule chipped and partially missing at top, remnants of domaine stamp visible, lightly bin soiled label, methuselah #004
In original wooden case
"The '76 is an aromatically dazzling wine with a sumptuous mix of spices, dried flowers, earth, leather and hints of underbrush, all of which continue onto the sappy, elegant, velvety medium full flavors that possess solid power and much better tannin integration than is typical for the vintage, all wrapped in a beautifully long finish of obvious class and refinement. In sum, this is really lovely and while there is no reason to delay opening one, neither is there any hurry to do so either. Consistent notes." BH, April 2007.
