1997 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Richebourg Grand Cru

"Deep ruby colour. Rich opulent nose with notes of cooked meat and black coffee. Very powerful palate with wonderful definition. Backward compared to some of the other DRC wines. Sustained soft berried fruits with fine balance. Touch of dark chocolate on the stern, perhaps slightly foursquare finish. A long-term Richebourg." - 97/100 Wine Advocate
