A RARE METHUSELAH OF ROMANEE CONTI
Lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD)
Offered in bond, available duty-paid
Romanée-Conti Grand Cru--Vintage 1976
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
In original wooden case. 6 litres, bottle no' 006. Embossed wax capsule. Excellent appearance. Level 5cms below base of cork
Tasting note: In 1979: intense, concentrated, but as yet undeveloped nose and flavour, very rich and with a fabulously penetrating aftertaste. The deepest of the DRC range in 1982. Five years later: noticeably powerful. By 1989 fully evolved, heavenly 'almost theatrical' Pinot fragrance; sweet, mouthfilling yet still hard. Most recently, rich, harmonious nose; sweet, full, very rich and powerful. Last tasted Feb 1992 **** M.B.
