Description

Romanee Conti 1985
Domaine de la Romanee Conti
3.5cm, lbsl, ssos, #000327
Bottle (1)
"The best example that has come my way was gorgeously expressive and highly spiced with a rich panoply of aromas, running from Asian spice notes like soy, hoisin and clove to a mix of primary and secondary black fruit aromas, violets the classic dried rose petal. The big yet refined flavors are rich, intense, mouth filling and still quite youthful, indeed even energetic on the palate drenching and coating finish of spectacular length, all wrapped around a solid tannic spine that will enable the '85 to evolve glacially over the next 30 years." (94pts Allen Meadows, Burghound #33, Jan 2009)

"The Romanee-Conti is utterly mind blowing. The heady, intoxicating bouquet delivered penetrating and sublime aromas that were even more intense than those from the La Tache. On the palate, there is a veritable smorgasbord of earthly and heavenly delights. Needless to say, it is very rich, very opulent, and very concentrated. Red burgundy and red wine do not get any better than this." (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec. 1989)
