Romanée-Conti Grand Cru--Vintage 1988
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
In plain Domaine-stamped wooden case. Bottle numbers 03510 to 03521. Leroy slip labels. Excellent labels. Levels one 1.5cms, two 2cms, seven 2.5cms, one 3cms and one 3.5cms. All have green roundel stamp. Interdiction d'Exporter aux USA
Tasting note: In 1988 there are 575 cases of Romanée-Conti. Consumers should be deliriously happy, considering there were only 225 cases in 1987. It is more backward than the 1987, 1986, or 1985, and is one of the fullest and most tannic examples of Romanée-Conti I have tasted this decade. It may even outlive the otherworldly 1985. It is staggeringly concentrated with a bouquet that almost defies articulation. There is no doubting what it is and who made it. It is a flashy, dramatic wine with astonishing length and mystique. I would not dare touch a bottle before the mid- to late nineties. Robert Parker, Burgundy Book, January 1990.
