Lot #2. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg 1998

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96-98 NM.
"A multi-dimensional nose explodes from the glass: raspberry, cassis and a touch of damson. A massive powerful palate - almost monolithic. Perfect acidity. Dense black fruit sprinkled with spice. Lasts forever. At the agency tasting this was my pick of the 1998 DRC wines." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Dec 1999
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Notes: Mold stained, bin soiled, torn, wine stained, heavily tissue stained, and heavily damp stained label.
