Montrachet--Vintage 2001
Côte de Beaune, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Bottle numbered 640, 641, 642
"Wonderfully pure and ripe white flower fruit aromas combine with hints of ripe exotic fruit and are framed by a deft touch of oak that merge seamlessly into racy, intense, superbly dense flavors that display a good deal more minerality than usual and the incredibly long finish has the grip of a red. While this is a very rich wine, it is perhaps a bit less opulent than usual and I actually quite like the sense of linearity and racy finishing acidity. In this sense, the wine quite reminds me of the incredible '96. This is still quite young but this is not quite as backward as some vintages and I suspect that another 5 years in the cellar will see this at, or close to, its peak. Consistent notes."
