Tasting Note:"This is a sensational wine with a rich yet youthful fragrance, long, deep flavor, and plenty of body.
The 1983 vintage for Domaine de la Romanée-Conti was a very tough year. First there was hail, then the advent of rot in August thanks to the tropical heat and humidity. When the harvest occurred, the domaine instructed its pickers to pick the grapes, not the grape bunches, by hand and to discard all of the rotten grapes. The results are splendidly concentrated, rich wines, but wines that are extremely expensive and need at least a decade of cellaring."
