Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1966
1 magnum per lot
Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1966 Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Lot 293 level: 3.5cm; capsule cut to reveal domaine, vineyard and vintage branded cork, corroded and torn capsule. Lot 294 levels: one 3.0cm, one 3.5cm, one 4.5cm, one 5.0cm, one 5.5cm; one corroded capsule, three cut capsules to reveal domaine, vineyard and vintage branded corks, mixed importers "Interestingly, the Romanée-Conti possesses perhaps the freshest nose on any of the DRC '66s from regular 750 ml format as it immediately soars from the glass to reveal a classic RC nose of hoisin, spice, dark fruit, caramel and touches of earth, underbrush and a hint of game that is followed by rich, sweet and smoky medium full flavors that completely coat the palate and explode on the mineral-infused finish. A seriously impressive wine that is class in a glass and this is an exceptionally seductive RC for the usual underlying reserve is missing in action. In sum, a phenomenal performance for the relatively young vines. Save for the one bottle noted above, I have consistent notes." BH April 28, 2007 1 magnum per lot
