Tasting notes
The 2000 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is drinking exquisitely today, offering up an ethereal and pure bouquet of sweet red berries, orange zest, rose petals and exotic spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and weightless palate with an enveloping core of cool, perfumed fruit framed by ripe acids and melting tannins, and concluding with a long, perfumed, mouthwateringly saline finish. This vintage from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is in a great place today, delivering more pleasure and complexity than a number of years that were more highly touted on release.

One of the wines from a warm vintage that produced wines for early drinking. This is rather seamless in texture and endless in the mouth. Ruby color with a garnet edge. Aromas of hibiscus tea, dried strawberry, candied strawberry, and orange peel. It’s full-bodied and tight and fine tannined. Drink and enjoy but it will be in this condition for a long time.
The 2000 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is a vintage that I have not tasted since just after bottling. It was picked on September 22 at 29hl/ha. I notice quite a deep colour compared to other vintages and perhaps just a little more turbidity. It is initially broody, a wine that does not want to get to know you. It begins to open with quite potent undergrowth scents intermixed with a pencil shavings or antique bureau. It is well balanced and seems to convey a little sinew, though it seems to fall short on the aftertaste when compared directly against the 1999 and 2002 Romanée-Conti. 6,286 bottles produced. Tasted at the Romanée-Conti dinner at the Connaught Hotel.
