Lot #511. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet 1985

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 97 AM.
"A huge, even massive nose of now fully mature white flower and green apple fruit mixed with a deft trimming of the exotic is followed by thick, rich, almost viscous yet stunningly precise and pure flavors that coat the palate and despite the sheer heft, there is a silky quality on the finish that seems without end. Incredibly impressive in every respect and this is really quite youthful and vibrant with simply indescribable complexity. A great, great Montrachet worthy of the name. Note however that two other recent bottles were not quite at the same level as the one described here as they were quite closed and lacked the same dazzling vibrancy." Burghound.com, Apr 27, 2007
Provenance: The Tower Cellar
Notes: 3cm, heavily oxidized capsule, very lightly damp stained, very lightly bin soiled, very lightly scuffed label, #000478.
