While the bottle in the tasting was a bit stewy, a more representative note is: the hauntingly beautiful aromatics that so many '62s possess (in particular the La Tâche) are present and the Romanée-Conti displays this character in spades with one of the most beguiling noses I have ever experienced. This is fireworks in a glass with simply brilliant aromas of Asian spice, tea, sandalwood, earth, leather, smoke and hints of clove, cinnamon and game.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
