Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti 2010
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
In original wooden case
Tasting note: It’s fascinating to taste the 2010 Romanée-Conti. It is as if all of the preceding wines are subsets of the Romanée-Conti, but in the Romanée-Conti we find all of the qualities that make the other wines so distinctive in one marvelously complete Burgundy. Aromatics reminiscent of Romanée St. Vivant make an appearance, followed by the sweetness that can only be La Tâche, then the structure of Richebourg, all wrapped into the total elusiveness of Romanée-Conti. I am reminded of my university studies in music. There are some compositions that are so profoundly moving because they only point out the futility in trying to truly understand them. Some things remain beyond the full grasp of the human intellect. Romanée-Conti is the vinous equivalent. Anticipated maturity: 2030-2060. Wine Advocate #199, February 2012
