1998 Domaine de La Romanee Conti Richebourg Grand Cru
DISASTER
In a Northern Rhone blind tasting, there were two guys contributing two bottles of red burgundies, which was a great idea as N. Rhone wines eventually morphed into burgundy alike character. Even though I managed to fish out the two burgundies, I didn't expect this to be a DRC!
Very muted nose, too shut and slight barnyard. Palate was extremely sour, although quite powerful, very over the hill color and taste, green notes and tobacco leaves. However 6 hours later, it drank like a matured burg.
