Romanée-Conti --Vintage 2001
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
"Brooding, reserved, somewhat austere yet classic, picture perfect aromas of red and black fruits cut with almost as much spice and aromatic nuances as the La Tâche plus a subtle touch of earth, soy and hoisin that combine to create a bouquet of simply stunning complexity. The purity and detail are flat out incredible with nuanced, multi-layered flavors wrapped in pinot sap and culminating in an awe-inspiring finish. Silk, velvet and mouth coating sap completely buffer the ripe structure and this RC possesses what all of the great ones do - absolutely perfect harmony; this is seamless and there are no edges. It is as it were a perfect sphere with a haunting finish that I could taste hours later. This is destined to be a great wine." BH
