A SUPERB COLLECTION OF ROMANEE-CONTI SPANNING EIGHT VINTAGES PLUS A SIX PACK OF LA ROMANEE FROM BOUCHARD
Recently removed from professional storage where the wines have lain since original purchase from reputable merchants
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Romanée-Conti Grand Cru--Vintage 1985
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Bottle no's 000952, 000954, 0003689. Two Leroy slip labels, one Percy Fox & Co. One slightly bin-soiled label, two slightly stained labels. Levels two 2.5cms, one 4cms below base of corks
Tasting note: The Romanée-Conti is utterly mind blowing. The heady, intoxicating bouquet delivered penetrating and sublime aromas that were even more intense than those from the La Tâche. On the palate, there is a veritable smorgasbord of earthly and heavenly delights. Needless to say, it is very rich, very opulent, and very concentrated. Red burgundy and red wine do not get any better than this. My guess is that it will peak between 1990 and 2005, as it is a bit more forward than either the La Tâche or Richebourg. Robert Parker, Burgundy Book January 1990
