ROMANEE CONTI 2003 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée Conti 2003 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruBT#02659The amazing element behind Romanée-Conti this year is that the wine has almost 'normal' acidity, whether due to the individual terroir, the remarkably old average age (53 years) of the vines, or the minute yield, we do not know. Suffice it to say that it has a magic scent that is totally true and utterly impressive in its purity and clarity. Complex and packed with aromatics. The taste is of pure bilberries, astonishing. Soft and mellow on the long finish. Reined in glory. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 951 bt (sc)Estimates are per lot
