"Once again there is evident restraint to the almost taciturn but still kaleidoscopically broad-ranging nose of wonderfully pure and fresh and spicy aromas that include plenty of floral influences on the red currant, cherry, sandalwood and rose petal. The silky and equally pure middle weight flavors possess excellent punch and a similar level of minerality on the focused, powerful, linear and impressively persistent finish that slowly fans out as it sits on the palate. In contrast to the flash of the La Tâche, this is Zen-like in its sense of harmony and focus. Like many of the DRC '17s, this should be approachable somewhat earlier than normal yet still be capable of reward 20+ years of cellaring." (97 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan. 2020)
“Bright purple. A highly perfumed, and highly expressive, nose reflects a plethora of spice and floral elements that include hints of orange peel, exotic tea and sandalwood wisps. The succulent and beautifully seductive middle weight flavors possess unusually good density for the vintage while displaying excellent length on the moderately austere, balanced and stylish finish. While still very young, the 2017 RC is built more for mid-term keeping and to that end, if one were to choose a vintage to perhaps open on the younger side, this would be one to possibly consider. In sum, this is an RC of finesse and undeniable class.” (95 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, April 2022)
“Wafting from the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of dark wild berries, cassis, wilted rose petals, blood orange, exotic spices, licorice and coniferous forest floor, the 2017 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is full-bodied, satiny textured and multidimensional. It's just as powerful as this year's La Tâche but even more elegantly framed by filigree structure, concluding with an intensely sapid and penetratingly fragrant finish. Pristinely balanced, this young Romanée-Conti possesses huge reserves for the long haul despite its deceptively supple youthful appeal, and it will reward extended bottle age.” (98 pts. William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jan. 2020)
“The 2017 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is dense, ample and also ethereal, as only it can be. Once again, Romanée-Conti elicits thoughts of art forms like cubist paintings or jazz, where themes are implied but never expressly stated. Above all else Romanée-Conti is a Burgundy that engages all the senses. You want answers, but all you get back is more questions. The 2017 is powerful and quite closed initially, yet with some aeration hints of black cherry, lavender and exotic spice start to appear. A closing rush of baritone inflections give it a real sense of gravitas. It’s a shame very few people will ever be able to taste it.” (96 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)
