Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Romanée-Conti 1990
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
Cut capsule reveals Domaine, vineyard, and vintage-branded cork, slightly rubbed label, folded corner of vintage neck tag, serial number removed by prior owner
Level 2.5cm
Tasting Note: In 1992: the 1990 Romanee-Conti should ultimately be the most compelling and complex of the DRC wines. Normally it possesses a lighter color than either La Tache or Richebourg, but in 1990 it boasts a surprisingly saturated color that is the equal of La Tache and Richebourg. The nose offers up sweet, clove, cinnamon, and blackberry aromas intermingled with toasty, smoky new oak. Lavishly rich and full-bodied, with abundant tannins, this profound, surprisingly large-scaled, tannic wine boasts more muscle than usual. 98 RP
