Something about Domaine de la Romanee Conti
Few estates excite wine lovers like the legendary Domaine de la Romanee-Conti in Burgundy, France. The origins of the domaine date back to 1232, when the Abby of Saint Vivant planted 4.5 acres of grapes. Today the estate has 25 acres of Grand Cru plots in some of the most noteworthy sites in Burgundy: La Romanee-Conti, from which the Domaine takes its name, La Tache, Richebourg, Romanee Saint Vivant, Grands-Echezeaux, Echezeaux and Le Montrachet. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti is defined by its finesse, clarity, and grace.

An incredibly fine and pure aromatic profile that is first and foremost ripe but this does not detract from the usual La Tâche aromatic fireworks as the highly perfumed, seductive, spicy and pungent floral notes makes for an utterly brilliant nose that is already coming out of its youthful shell. The flavors are presently somewhat understated and while there is superb concentration, I was quite surprised that there is almost a reserve here, even a certain coolness that is extremely rare for a vintage that is essentially generous and overt in basic character. But perhaps what I admire the most here is the transparency, which is again relatively rare in this vintage, and the overall harmony of expression. In short, this is a wine of finesse and purity because even though it is dense, it remains balanced and never heavy. To be sure, this is very ripe with finishing notes of plum, mocha and coffee, it is one powerful wine that possesses huge length and it should be capable of lasting 50 years. This should ultimately be a great La Tâche though whether it can rival such vintages as the '99, '90, '64,'62, '49, '45, '37 and '34, time will tell but it might as there is a huge underlying reservoir of potential here.
