THE EXCEPTIONAL ROMANEE CONTI 1988
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Romanée-Conti Grand Cru--Vintage 1988
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
In original wooden case. Excellent appearance. Small green stamps on labels; "Interdiction d'Exporter aux USA". Levels 2.5cms below base of corks or better
A note on the Vintage
With the '85, one of the two best vintages of the decade. but while the '85s had an easy - misleadingly easy - charm, the '88s were less flattering, firmer, tannic and are now, in my opinion, superior.
Tasting note: Old note: a powerhouse with a great future. M.B.
