Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1970
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Level: 2.5cm
PRODUCTION: 2,690 cases. A very advanced color resembling rusty tea, with some medium ruby/garnet tints suggests a wine in full decline. However, the wine's fragrance, while teetering on the brink of deterioration, still carries plenty of sweet, smoky, aged beef and old saddle leather smells. The wine possesses full body, hot alcohol in the finish, a diffuse, unfocused style, and a degree of flabbiness and looseness. Although disjointed, it is clinging to life. Drink it up. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #100 (Aug 1995)
