"Most recently, bottle number 0929: Fairly deep, richly coloured; sweet, harmonious nose, rich fruit, almost jammy - strawberry, raspberry - great depth, faultless; lovely flavour, still with excellent tannin and acidity, typical Romanée-Conti persistence of flavour. One of my highest marks of the entire range. At Wilf Jaeger's Romanée-Conti luncheon, March 2002 ***** Perfect now, yet years of life left " MB, Vintage Wine
