1996 Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Grands Echezeaux, 1 bottle Bottle conditions : (not in bond VAT not paid) 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: "Deep ruby. Still aromatically tight and backward with elegant red and black fruit aromas followed by middle weight, earthy, reserved flavors and a very firm but not hard finish. With 90 minutes of air, this becomes superbly elegant and spicy with outstanding precision and detail. At this point, this is an intellectual wine, only hinting at the ultimate potential. In good storage, this will live for decades."(94pts BH) Provenance: Stretch Run: Ten consignors bring ninety-seven lots of star power to close our November Swiss auction in style!
