"The wine of princes she is velvet seduction and mystery. It is the most proustian of all the great wines : concealed in the secret perfume of fading rose petals in a Romanée-Conti 1956 is it not the intense and pure sensation of the past recaptured which arrests us and enchant us ?"

Vinous: 98+ Points

The 2009 Romanée-Conti is surprisingly huge and even obvious in this vintage. That isn't a problem just an observation. Romanée-Conti can be an elusive intensely cerebral wine but not in 2009. Floral notes add lift on the vivid kaleidoscopic finish. Today the Romanée-Conti is all about breathtaking exuberance and richness. This is a breathtaking bottle.
