Le Montrachet--Vintage 1996
Domaine de la Romaneé-Conti
Offered in a carton. Slight signs of seepage. Bin-soiled label. Level at 2.5cms below base of cork
Tasting note: The Domaine de la Romanee-Conti's light-colored 1996 Montrachet is spectacular (it was originally rated 95-98 in The Wine Advocate's Issue #115). Its profound, rich, and embracing nose reveals toasted minerals, white fruits, and hints of lemons. On the palate it displays enormous complexity, a broad, layered core of tropical fruits (mostly mangoes), liquid minerals, and stones. It is terribly refined, bracing, satin textured, medium-to-full-bodied, and mind-blowingly long in the finish. Its tightly wound core of fruit will require extended cellaring to blossom and reveal all of what this glorious wine has to offer. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 123 (Jun 1999)
