1990 ROMANEE-CONTI
The 1990 Romanée-Conti, picked at 32 hl/ha (2089.6 gallons/acre), was hailed by Michael Broadbent as "a 'cathedral' wine, no doubt the only vintage, along with 1988, able to support the comparison with the greatest and most sublime of the prewar vintages of Romanée-Conti. Such aromatic refinement in a wine as concentrated as this is difficult to believe!" Robert Parker said that ""The 1990 Romanee-Conti should ultimately be the most compelling and complex of the DRC wines. Normally it possesses a lighter color than either La Tâche or Richebourg, but in 1990 it boasts a surprisingly saturated color that is the equal of La Tâche and Richebourg. The nose offers up sweet, clove, cinnamon, and blackberry aromas intermingled with toasty, smoky new oak. Lavishly rich and full-bodied, with abundant tannins, this profound, surprisingly large-scaled, tannic wine boasts more muscle than usual. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2025." In short, wine critics agree: the 1990 RC is one of the greatest modern Burgundies ever. Don't miss it.
Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1990
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Level: 1.5cm; bottle #353
"Medium ruby color. Initially, this is aromatically tight and closed but after 2 hours, it absolutely explodes from the glass with a breathtaking panoply of Asian spices, exotic fruit aromas and a touch of earth followed by rich, lush, almost opulent flavors that melt in the mouth and coat the palate with a layer of velvet on the fantastically long finish. This is a dramatic wine in every sense of the word yet it's not at all showy but rather discreet and understated. I particularly like the sense of inner power and purity of expression and this is as good a post '45 RC as I ever hope to drink. It should last for another 50 years and if you ever have the chance, don't miss it! Save for one so-so bottle, I have very consistent notes." BH, January, 2008
