Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1966
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Level: 3cm; lightly bin soiled and torn label, slightly protruding cork
This is perhaps the freshest nose on any of the DRC '66s from regular 750 ml format as it immediately soars from the glass to reveal a classic RC nose of hoisin, spice, dark fruit, caramel and touches of earth, underbrush and a hint of game that is followed by rich, sweet and smoky medium full flavors that completely coat the palate and explode on the finish. A seriously impressive wine that is class in a glass and this is an exceptionally seductive RC for the usual underlying reserve is, for the time being at least, missing in action. A phenomenal performance for the relatively young vines. Tasted twice recently with consistent notes. BH, October 1, 2006
