Romanée-Conti Grand Cru--Vintage 1959
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Lot 403 with DRC wax capsule. Good label. Level 2cms. below base of cork. Lot 404 good label. Level 3cms. below base of cork. Lot 405 Lightly stained label. Level 3cms. below base of cork
Tasting note: Production 9607 bottles. First noted at the big Lebégue annual tasting in the monumental arches beneath Lond Bridge Station in 1964; amazingly rich and concentrated. Still totally unready in 1979 but 15 years later wonderfully evolved: medium-deep; soft, velvety, fleshy, harmonious bouquet with mulberry-hint of fruit; full, rich, mouthfilling. Dry finish. Most recently, bottle no.0929: fairly deep, richly coloured; sweet, harmonious nose, rich fruit, almost jammy - strawberry, raspberry - great depth, faultless; lovely flavour, still with excellent tannin and acidity, typical Romanée-Conti persistence of flavour. One of my highest marks of the entire range. At Wilfred Jaeger's Romanée-Conti luncheon, March 2002 ***** perfect now, yet years of life ahead M.B.
