95-points Rober Parker: "Extremely concentrated, exotic, and sensationally perfumed, with its telltale bouquet of oriental spices, toasty vanillin oak, berry fruit, and plums, this wine had fabulous gingery, cinnamon flavors as well as astonishing length. It is one of the most unique tasting experiences in the world. It is all pleasure, finesse, complexity and richness, and my feeling is that it is clearly the best wine this domaine has made i...

Written Notes

"Extremely concentrated, exotic, and sensationally perfumed, with its telltale bouquet of oriental spices, toasty vanillin oak, berry fruit, and plums, this wine had fabulous gingery, cinnamon flavors as well as astonishing length. It is one of the most unique tasting experiences in the world. It is all pleasure, finesse, complexity and richness, and my feeling is that it is clearly the best wine this domaine has made in 1987. There are 225 cases to be allocated throughout the world. In many vintages it is difficult to say that the Romanee-Conti is the best wine produced at the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, but in 1987 it is utterly compelling. My notes indicate that it is more evolved and precocious than either La Tache, Richebourg, or Grands Echezeaux.

Moderately intense, ruby red colour. Intense, concentrated and very fruity nose with ripe dark black fruits, brambles, and raspberries mixed with spices and perfumy aromas such as violets. Medium-bodied palate is crisp and bares loads of red fruits. The structure on the palate is firm and mineral with smoky finish. Opulent yet rustic in style. Long and energetic finish. Reminding of Henri Jayer style. Decant for 3 hours and serve at 17°C with reindeer fillet, roasted pigeon, or Brie de Meaux cheese. JL 93p (4/2010)
