DR97 "The Corton from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is produced from vines leased from the Domaine Prince Florent de Merode, and is blended from Clos du Roi (0.57 ha), Les Renardes (0.51 ha), and Les Bressandes (1.19 ha). A recent tasting of this, the second vintage produced, shows a lovely perfumed cherry and redcurrant fruit trimmed with violets, liquorice, earth, and mineral. The texture is silky, exceptionally supple, and very expressive. It is a model of finesse and delicacy with a classical structure and an elegant, resonant finish." Charles Curtis for DR Jan 3, 2014
A very ripe yet fresh nose of dark berry fruit, violets and plum enjoy added breadth from the presence of spice, earth and distinct sauvage nuances. This sauvage aspect also characterizes the remarkably rich and full-bodied flavors that possess a velvety texture from the copious amounts of dry extract. The supporting structure possesses a high degree of phenolic maturity and outstanding length on the ever-so-slightly warm finish. This is relatively fine, at least within the context of the typical robust and chewy style of a classic Corton. (BH)" (January 2014)
