Romanee Conti 1990Domaine de la Romanee Conti
5.1cm, bsl, tc, #00448
Bottle (1)
"Medium ruby color. Initially, this is aromatically tight and closed but after 2 hours, it absolutely explodes from the glass with a breathtaking panoply of Asian spices, exotic fruit aromas and a touch of earth followed by rich, lush, almost opulent flavors that melt in the mouth and coat the palate with a layer of velvet on the fantastically long finish. This is a dramatic wine in every sense of the word yet it's not at all showy but rather discreet and understated. I particularly like the sense of inner power and purity of expression and this is as good a post '45 RC as I ever hope to drink." (99pts Allen Meadows, Burghound #29, Jan 2008)

It should last for another 50 years and if you ever have the chance, don't miss it!" (99 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound #29, Jan. 2008)
