Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Lot 318 slightly protruding corks. Lot 319 very damp stained and straw damaged labels
Lot 319 in original wooden case, banded prior to inspection
This is among the world's most expensive wines (as far as I know only certain late harvest wines from Germany are more expensive). It has gorgeously bright dark ruby/purple color and extremely complex aromatics of fresh herbs, Asian spices, creamy cherries, super-ripe blackberries, and vanilla-imbued oak. This superb wine offers a mouthful of silky-textured cherries, blueberries, plums, boysenberries, earth, minerals, and spiced oak. This masterpiece is full-bodied, dense (yet extremely elegant and defined), thickly-textured, and immensely concentrated. Moreover, I sensed this wine was holding a significant amount in reserve!"
