“The breed and elegance of Romanée-Conti are immediately apparent from the detailed aromatic palette of the 2011 that ranges from pomegranate to blackcurrant, accented with notes of smoke, earth, star anise, and a suggestion of lavender. The aromas are elegant and somewhat restrained but continue to open up with time in the glass. The texture is firm and compact, yet there is nothing astringent or hard about the wine – it is starting to be approachable even now but will continue to age and improve for decades.”
— Charles Curtis MW, 2023
