The 1933 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is still drinking magically today, wafting from the glass with a haunting bouquet of wilted rose petals, exotic spices, old library books, dried red fruits, potpourri, menthol, lavender and hints of fresh tobacco. Full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it's elegantly muscular, its structural chassis refined by time to deliver a wine of striking plenitude and aromatic range. It concludes with an expansive, pungently salient finish. A low fill and faded hue dampened my expectations from this bottle, but it had never left Burgundy and ended up numbering among my most memorable wines of the year.
