1978 *****
...Thanks to high extract and tannins, the best are still drinking well and some have yet to reach their peak. No good Burgundy cellar should be without a bottle or two!

Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

See illustration
"Most recently...The first and youngest of 11 classic vintages of Romanée Conti: medium-pale, lively looking, open tellow-amver rim; sweet rich, lovely fragrance, pure mature 'beetroot' varietal bouquet that opened up in the glass, soft fruit, whiff of raspberry; also sweet on the palate, full-bodied (yet a moderate 13 alcohol), interesting texture, peppery acidity and an upturned, almost spritz, finish. Last tasted at Wilfred Jaeger's Sunday DRC lunch, March 2002 ***** Drink now-2012"
