Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)
Romanée-Conti Grand Cru Pinot Noir
This is a subtle thrill. Gorgeous aromatics and a palate to match, it has neither the power of the Beze nor the backbone of the liger belair, but it will probably outlive both. Such is the magic of wine. I desperately hope to have another bottle in a couple of decades, but it was great to enjoy a bottle in its youth. Like listening to an early Mozart symphony, it's not where it will be, but it's thrilling nonetheless!
