1988 DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg Grand Cru

Bid on this bottle of 1988 DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg Grand Cru (96RP, 94WS, 93BH). Wine Advocate: "The Richebourg was an explosive wine with an earthy, cinnamon, gingery, soy sauce aroma backed up with the intense smell of plums and toasty new oak. Extremely rich, full bodied, and awesomely proportioned, this heroic wine should be drunk from the late nineties through the first two decades of the twenty-first century. It seems bigger, fuller, and more powerful than even the celestial 1985. The prices for the wines of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti may be exorbitant but the quality of the wines produced in the eighties is truly remarkable. (RP)" (12/1989)
