1999 Romanee Conti, Domaine de la Romanee Conti

Quite deep ruby coloured dry red wine with quite pronounced aromas of red plum, black cherry, tangerine peel, anise and licorice. Medium acidity but a bit sharp, medium bodied and alcohol. Tannin is a bit high but fine grained with quite pronounced flavours of rose, red cherry, mushroom, vegetal, licorice and anise. Long length with red plum finish. (93) Good length but not lack of fineness in structure.

完全中伏。這酒的變化是難以預計的。品嚐這酒是盲飲的，酒主說開了四至五小時。初初的香氣很沉，但有隱約的複雜性，酒入口偏酸而且是像蘋果酸那種較削的感覺，高丹寧而酒力強，餘韻長。酒的表現說明是一枝未開放的好酒。但酒體感覺似是一枝較鬆散的意大利酒。開估後當然錯到七個一皮，酒的那種體裁是我還未捉摸得到的99年，DRC的特色也不見得，直到最後才出現那些複雜性。但以ROMANEE CONTI 來說這酒的酒體交不出那結實架構中的柔雅感。99年的布根地紅酒人人都說很靚，但對我來說是很難捉摸。所以要挑我機的不妨拿些99年的紅布給我喝，一定有笑話。
