AN EXTRAORDINARY ORIGINAL WOODEN CASE OF MAGNUMS OF ROMANEE-CONTI 1985 IN PRISTINE CONDITION
Vintage 1985 *****
One of my favourite burgundy vintages. Certainly some of my most consistently glowing notes. The weather conditions were interesting: unprecedented low temperatures in January, snow in February delaying budding but minimizing the risk of late frosts. Delayed flowering; June and July were fairly normal but, from the first week in August, heat and drought, then hail storms. From 1 September constant sunshine. A ripe, healthy crop and one of the best vintages in most grower's memories. A wide range of '85s tasted... they demonstrate the ,
superiority and extra depth of the grand, crus the quality of 1er crus as well as, even in a vintage like this, the variations between village wines. MB, Vintage Wine
Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1985
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Numbers 37,38,39,40,41,42
Levels: 2cm or less
In original wooden case, banded, prior to inspection
"The Romanee-Conti is utterly mind blowing. The heady, intoxicating bouquet delivered penetrating and sublime aromas that were even more intense than those from the La Tache. 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." Robert Paker, Burgundy Book (1990)
