1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg Richebourg Grand Cru Burgundy France Wine Tasting Note

I am positive this bottle was not 100% correct. What should have been a stunning wine fell short of the mark. The color was that of a wine older than its true age. Spice, earth, roasted dark and red berries made for an interesting nose, but the wine came up short in the spicy, red berry finish. It was not voted the best wine of the tasting by anyone in the group. Such is life. There are not great wines after 15-20 years, just great bottles.
