Details
Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1990
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
In original wooden case, banded prior to inspection
Bottles numbered 01289-01300, one slight sign of seepage
Levels: 2cm or better
"Medium ruby color. Initially, this is aromatically tight and closed but after 2 hours in the glass, it absolutely explodes from the glass with a breathtaking panoply of Asian spices, exotic fruit aromas and a touch of earth followed by rich, lush, almost opulent flavors that melt in the mouth and coat the palate with a layer of velvet on the fantastically long finish. This is a dramatic wine in every sense of the word yet it's not at all showy but rather discreet and understated. I particularly like the sense of inner power and purity of expression and this is as good a wine as I ever hope to drink. It should last for another 50 years and if you ever have the chance, don't miss it! Consistent notes." BH, July 4, 2005
