Note di degustazione
The DRC 1999s have always been so dark and backward and the RC remains so. But as it opens after a few hours in the glass, the muscle and power begins to show the magic with licorice, crushed stone, flower petal, oyster shell, iodine, and blackberry on both the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied and so powerful with muscular tannins which are totally integrated. This may live forever if kept properly. Mind-blowing. Drink or hold.

This is my third bottle of 1999 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru and it repeats the breathtaking performance of the previous two. That said, it demands more aeration than I was expecting, backward and more introspective for the first 60 minutes until that crystalline, mineral-driven, profound bouquet reveals itself. The aromatics just shimmer. The palate is perfectly balanced as before, mind-boggling in terms of precision and grace, with laser-like intensity and a tension that electrifies the senses. More red fruit than black, hints of orange peel and oyster shell, it fans out languorously on the eternally long finish. Heaven in a glass! Picked on September 20 and cropped at 32hl/ha. 6,917 bottles produced. Tasted at the Romanée-Conti dinner at the Connaught Hotel.
