Lot #95. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée Conti 1978

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95 AM.
A classic RC nose that also evidences notes of caramel and brown sugar with delicious, seductive and velvety flavors that are still quite powerful and notably concentrated, all wrapped in an explosive finish of seriously admirable length. This really coats the palate with dry extract the penetrating minerality really comes through right at the end, just when you think the finish has lasted as long as it's going to. Allen Meadows, April 2008
Notes: Lightly corroded capsules cut short to reveal Domaine, vineyard and vintage branded corks, one slightly recessed cork, lightly scuffed vintage neck tags, lightly scuffed and very lightly bin soiled labels, #2200, 2202, 6140.
