Product Description
The 2005 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru was picked on 15 and 16 September at 25hl/ha. Now, this unquestionably lives up to sky high expectations and if anything, shows up some of the other vintages poured alongside. It has a deep core with thin bricking on the rim. The bouquet is breathtaking and transcendental with its mélange of wild strawberry, blackberry, loam and brine all delivered with astonishing pixelation. The palate is crystalline, though it is initially a little introverted like many 2005s, so do afford this an hour or two of decanting. Then it opens with blackberry, crushed stone and brown spices, slightly ferrous towards the finish that has quite profound persistence. The precision is off the charts. The 2005 Romanée-Conti is the real deal. 5,489 bottles produced. Tasted at the Romanée-Conti dinner at the Connaught Hotel. (Drink between 2020-2070) NM (Apr 2019)
