Reviews of 1998 Romanee Conti, Domaine de la Richebourg Grand Cru Pinot Noir
93 points, Burghound
May 2004
Extremely primary, mostly red fruits with a trace of cassis and earth notes followed by full-bodied flavors underpinned by ripe tannins wrapped in sap and this is really quite concentrated and very intense. In particular, the finish displays outstanding length and superb acid/fruit balance. With air this becomes beautifully perfumed, indeed almost opulent, quite pure and fine. To be sure, this is still amply structured and a touch austere but not hard and it continues to display great potential.

Very good deep red-ruby. Pungent, expressive aromas of raspberry, black cherry, redcurrant, espresso and bitter chocolate. Very rich, sappy and deep, with chewy extract and lovely vinosity. Possible to taste right now owing to its sheer harmoniousness. Juicy framing acidity gives clarity to the flavors. Finishes very long and strong, with building but ripe tannins. This will benefit from eight to ten years of bottle aging but should be superb.

The domaine has 25 hectares of vineyards, all Grand Crus, including the jewel in the crown, the 1.8 hectare monopole of Romanée-Conti. Yields are mind numbingly low and the winemaking is traditional and perfectionist."
