TESTING
In 1988 there are 575 cases of Romanee - Conti. Consumers should be deliriously
happy, considering there were only 225 cases in 1987. It is more backward
than the 1987, 1986, or 1985, and is one of the fullest and most tannic examples
of Romanee - Conti I have tasted this decade. It may even outlive the otherworldly
1985. It is staggeringly concentrated with a bouquet that almost defies
articulation. There is no doubting what it is and who made it. It is a flashy, dramatic
wine with astonishing length and mystique. I would not dare touch a bottle
before the mid - to late nineties./RP /Jan 1990
