2003 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Richebourg

94-97 BH

Reviews:

Single Owner Private Collection. All wine purchased on release and professionally stored. Outstanding provenance.

This too is very aromatically reserved with only glimpses of spicy and exotic perfume that speak of very ripe and tiny crushed berries because even though the nose is reticent, the intensity of the fruit is magnificent. The flavors are opulent and sumptuously proportioned with massive amounts of sap and dry extract that completely stains and coats the palate before exploding on the hugely long finish. Yes, this is a big, indeed enormous wine but one that never loses its sense of balance and the velvety backend largely buffers the very firm tannins. A great Richebourg of colossal quality that may indeed rival the awesome '62. Burghound 94-97
