1996 Romanee Conti, Domaine de la Romanee Conti

This dry red wine has quite deep ruby colour. On nose it has quite high intensity aromas of red cherry, red plum, rose perfume, vanilla, licorice, amber and cabbage. Medium acidity, alcohol and bodied. The tannin is ripe and fine grained in nature, at medium level too. On palate, it has quite high intensity flavours of rose, red plum, red berry, cabbage, vanilla. Long length with red plum lingering finish. (96)

這酒是盲飲的，但有著強烈的DRC風格。酒香及酒味強而複雜，餘韻很長，好酒一枝。比起其他DRC的產品，這酒沒有
RSV 的較重泥土感，亦沒有 Richebourg 的偏向花果感，複雜性似 La Tache，但酒在口中的結構較結實，所以雖然我之前未飲過Romanee Conti，我也(被迫)估這酒是RC。這酒的好處是面面俱圓而又高度平衡，有點像把所有DRC在這村的酒溝埋的感覺。飲落是會發現各種味道也有提供，很好飲。飲完一啖覺得好飲之後，再飲一啖更會覺得好飲的感覺。酒還可陳放，相信過多段時間會更好。
