Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1959
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Lot 50 level: 3.5cm; capsule cut to reveal vineyard, vintage and domaine branded cork. Lot 51 levels: one 3.5cm, one 4.0cm; one cracked original domaine embossed wax capsule, one original domaine embossed wax capsule partially removed by Christie's specialist for inspection to reveal domaine, vineyard and vintage branded cork, both lightly bin soiled labels
"One of the greatest post war vintages as well as one of the extremely few big volume/high quality vintages of 20th century, along with '29, '34, '90 and '99. A very ripe and fully mature nose that displays just a hint of volatile acidity along with exceptional spiciness and one that is now beginning to show its age with sweet, round and impressively rich flavors that are intense and mouth coating on the admirably long finish. In sum, a wine of seduction." BH, April 28, 2007
