Description
Romanee Conti 1976Domaine de la Romanee Conti
scl, #004650
Bottle (1)
"The '76 is an aromatically dazzling wine with a sumptuous mix of spices, dried flowers, earth, leather and hints of underbrush, all of which continue onto the sappy, elegant, velvety medium full flavors that possess solid power and much better tannin integration than is typical for the vintage, all wrapped in a beautifully long finish of obvious class and refinement. To be clear, this is by no means a great Romanée-Conti but it's a clear success for the vintage and the sheer breed that is Romanée-Conti shines through without impediment. In sum, this is really lovely and while there is no reason to delay opening one, neither is there any hurry to do so either." (91pts Allen Meadows, Burghound, April 2007)
