Lively crimson and a really rich nose – lovely pure acidity. Great life in here with some animal richness. Sweet, full and opunchy. Very broad – much richer than most red 2004 burgundies. Real body and sweetness. By no means the finest from this stable – a little bit crude and galumphing by DRC standards – but full marks for sheer mass.
(est. 300-$450) Medium red. Rather exotic aromas of liqueur-like red fruits, spices, leather and underbrush. Silky, seductive and a bit decadent in its early sex appeal, but with its lively acids and apparent oak tannins this has a slight dry edge. Firmed up with air and gained in freshness.
About the producer
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or simply “DRC” is without doubt the most famous domaine in Burgundy and one of the most famous producers on earth. The Grand Cru vineyard from which it takes its name produces the world’s most expensive wine by a long margin.
