Lot #509. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet 1988

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 97+ AG.
"The 1988 Montrachet is gorgeous . . . . Here it is the wine's sense of phenolics and overall structure that dominate over some of the more tropical, buttery notes I have seen in the past. Readers who have an opportunity to taste this magical elixir should not hesitate. At times the 1988 is quite extroverted, while in other moments it is much more buttoned up. Either way, the 1988 Montrachet dazzles from the very first taste. It should continue to drink well . . ." Vinous, Sep 2014
Provenance: The Tower Cellar
Notes: 4.5cm, nicked, lightly scuffed capsule, nicked, lightly bin soiled, lightly scuffed label.
