253 - 2015 Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Corton, 1 bottle

2015 Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Corton, 1 bottle Bottle conditions : (in bond) All condition and packaging abbreviations (e.g., owc, ts, lbsl, etc.) are given in their original English form. Refer to our catalog for an explanation of these abbreviations. Wine notes: " On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, sapid and penetrating, with vibrant acids and an assertive chassis of firm, youthfully stemmy tannins though there's sufficient mid-palate depth to subsume those in the fullness of time. While the domaine's Corton, from the vineyards of Prince Florent de Mérode, is still a work in progress, the 2015 is the most successful rendition to date, and the balmy, low-yielding vintage seems to have played to the hill's strengths."(93pts) Provenance: From Corton to Romanée-Conti: This nineteen-lot offering of the one and only Domaine de la Romanée-Conti was purchased on release and arrives from Scandinavia in perfect condition.
