"The '76 is an aromatically dazzling wine with a sumptuous mix of spices, dried flowers, earth, leather and hints of underbrush, all of which continue onto the sappy, elegant, velvety medium full flavors that possess solid power and much better tannin integration than is typical for the vintage, all wrapped in a beautifully long finish of obvious class and refinement . . . . it's a clear success for the vintage and the sheer breed that is Romanée-Conti shines through without impediment. In sum, this is really lovely and while there is no reason to delay opening one, neither is there any hurry to do so either. Consistent notes."
