Description:
*Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Richebourg 1985
Cote de Nuits
u. 4.5 cm, heavy label staining, clear tape over label
"A stunningly complex, even brilliant nose of aged burg aromas, sous bois, spice notes (especially clove and anise) that are gracefully followed by rich, full and naturally sweet medium plus weight flavors that completely coat the mouth on the wonderfully long finish. This is drinking perfectly now and it's hard to see it improving further though it should continue to hold without difficulty. A great '85 and one of the best of the DRC line-up in this vintage. Multiple and mostly consistent notes though some bottles are fresher than others and thus rate slightly higher." Burghound 94 pts. 01/09
