ROMANEE CONTI 1966
Lying in Corsham, Wiltshire (Octavian)
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Romanée-Conti 1966
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
From the cellar of a senior MW who purchased it from J.L.P. Lebègue (DRC’s agent at the time) in 1971. Bottle no' 06483. Slightly corroded capsule. Re-labelled at the Domaine in 2006, good appearance. Level: 5cms below base of cork.
Tasting note: Six notes. In its youth, deeper and bigger than the other DRC ‘66s. By the mid and late 1980s, harmonious, sweet, crisp flavour; tannic finish. Most recently: medium, mature; glorious, perfection; lovely flavour and length, mouthfilling, highest alcohol and an end bite. Superb. Last tasted Oct 2003 ***** Ready but will keep. M.B.
