1934 VINTAGE ROMANÉE-CONTI
"This is undeniably one of the finest and most beguilingly complex noses I have ever experienced on any wine any where. The aromas just soar from the glass with dazzling freshness and nuance plus layers upon layers upon layers of superbly detailed violet and spice-infused aromas. The nose was literally so captivating that I didn't even taste the wine for almost 20 minutes, which then revealed deep, sweet and impossibly rich and pure medium full flavors that culminate in a palate staining and hugely long finish. There is still a touch of structure remaining but this is a wine in perfect harmony with the grace of a ballerina yet the taut and still vibrant intensity of a world class gymnast. This should be capable of lasting another 20 to 30 years though why anyone would wait is hard to fathom. In short, this is simply flat out spectacular."
