Estimate
A combination of power and finesse...complex mélange of flowers, spice, mint, strawberry and wild cherry flavors...sweetness not evident in the other DRC reds, with a silky texture and amazing harmony, all supported by refined tannins.
There is a real sense of focused power to the beautifully well-delineated, pure and highly nuanced, multifaceted medium-bodied flavors...a Zen-like sense of harmony...should be one of the all-time greats in due time...
...aromas of raspberry, wild herbs, smoky minerality and underbrush...Sweet and dense but tight...terrific peppery, saline lift to the red berry and spice flavors...outstanding building length and energy and utterly noble tannins...
...powerful and meaty on the nose...Massively smooth and polished. A monument rather than a seductress. Respect. He finds this a bit ‘vegetal’ as usual. Amazing that it sells so quickly if he attaches this no-no word to it!
...in the Romanee-Conti we find all of the qualities that make the other wines so distinctive in one marvelously complete Burgundy...Some things remain beyond the full grasp of the human intellect...Anticipated maturity: 2030-2060.
