Description
Romanee Conti 1978Domaine de la Romanee Conti
1spc, #005396, 003882, 003823
Bottle (3)
"From a bottle bought in the US. Great sinew, positively muscular in its impressive depoth of both fruit and structure. Yet on the nose it is completely ethereal - aerienne, the French might call it. Very generous. Sweet, long, with liquorice notes and even the merest suggestion of gas. Spicy with the most amazing finish. Very, very exciting - a wine that positively jumps out of the glass and says 'kerpow' to the palate." (20pts JR, July 2007)
"A classic RC nose that also evidences notes of caramel and brown sugar with delicious, seductive and velvety flavors that are still quite powerful and notably concentrated, all wrapped in an explosive finish of seriously admirable length. This really coats the palate with dry extract the penetrating minerality really comes through right at the end, just when you think the finish has lasted as long as it's going to." (95 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Apr. 2008)
