Deep ruby-violet hue. An ultra-floral, fresh and dazzlingly pure nose remains quite primary even at 12 years of age. The focused and still markedly intense, chiseled and mineral-driven flavors conclude in a very firm, compact and strikingly well-balanced finish that goes on for minutes. I suspect this silky, Zen-like and utterly magnificent effort will see its 100th birthday in fine form! This, and the positively transcendent 1999, are quite simply in another class - amazingly enough, the word brilliant just doesn't do either complete justice. Wine, at least in my experience, doesn't get any better.

Attractive ruby garnet color with decadent and rich aromas of meat, plum, bark, wet earth, dried flowers and dried strawberry. It’s a plush and full old wine with round tannins that are velvety in texture. It shows the ripeness of the vintage. It is drinking well now but it will be like this for decades.

It’s fascinating to taste the 2010 Romanee-Conti. It is as if all of the preceding wines are subsets of the Romanee-Conti, but in the Romanee-Conti we find all of the qualities that make the other wines so distinctive in one marvelously complete Burgundy. Aromatics reminiscent of Romanee St. Vivant make an appearance, followed by the sweetness that can only be La Tache, then the structure of Richebourg, all wrapped into the total elusiveness of Romanee-Conti. I am reminded of my university studies in music. There are some compositions that are so profoundly moving because they only point out the futility in trying to truly understand them. Some things remain beyond the full grasp of the human intellect. Romanee-Conti is the vinous equivalent. Anticipated maturity: 2030-2060. I tasted the 2010s twice from barrel, once in the summer just as the wines were about to be racked and then again during my early December visit. On both occasions the wines were stellar. Like virtually all of his colleagues, co-manager Aubert de Villaine was surprised by the level of the 2010s given all of the challenges of the growing season. I could repeat everything de Villaine told me, but there is no better source than the man himself, so readers who want to learn more about the 2010 harvest may want to take a look at my interview with de Villaine on www.erobertparker.com. Overall, I am very impressed with the 2010s with the exception of the Corton, which appears to be a notch or two below the 2009. The 2010 that most greatly exceeds its appellation and historical level of quality is the Echezeaux. I also tasted the 2010 Vosne-Romanee Cuvee Duvault-Blochet but the domaine had not yet decided if the wine would be released. I will report on the 2009s in our April issue.
