Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1971
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Level: 7cm from cork; domaine embossed wax capsule chipped, revealing domaine and vineyard branded cork, lightly bin soiled and scuffed label, bottle number 8
"The 1971 Romanée-Conti, drunk out of magnum, is a peak experience, with a great density of dark plum fruit on the nose and overtones of truffle, game and leather. On the palate the wine is substantial and tannic without being heavy in any way. It shows a marvelous silky quality to the tannins and very good length." Breathtaking. At a client dinner in Tokyo.
