Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1937
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
In the first ten lots levels all 5.5cms below cork. Labels: in the first two lots good, slightly damaged. In the third lot damaged capsule, dusty label. In the fourth, fifth and sixth lots labels almost intact, but damaged. In the seventh and eighth lots remains of labels only. In the ninth lot damaged capsule, very slight remains of label. In the tenth lot no label. In lots 357 to 359 labels all slightly damaged. In lots 360 and 361 remains of labels only. In lot 362 labels are intact but bin-soiled, levels are 6.5cms below corks. In lot 363 capsules and labels are damaged. Levels 7cms. below corks
An exceptionally great Burgundy vintage and the magnificent '37 Romanée-Conti itself one of the finest Burgundies of all time. Several recent notes, all consistently good. Still perfection. Regarding levels, 6cms. below the cork of the old classic burgundy bottle is not the same as a mid-shoulder Bordeaux. The quality of wine should not be affected by any of the levels described though estimates have been adjusted to match the overall appearance of the bottles
