"The 1993 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru was picked on September 27 at just 14.87hl/ha . . . . after two hours it is quite a beautiful wine. It is blessed with an ethereal bouquet, beautifully defined yet reserved compared to other vintages. Scents of raspberry preserve, damp undergrowth (wet moss) with subtle hints of fresh tobacco and cedar all combined so effortlessly. The palate is extremely well balanced with sublime tannins, maybe a little foursquare yet precise on the finish. This is drinking so well now, but based on this bottle, do not be afraid to decant. A very capable Romanée-Conti . . . . 3,600 bottles produced. Tasted at the Romanée-Conti dinner at the Connaught Hotel."
