Romanee Conti DRC 1998
Romanee Conti DRC 1998 is a dry, light-bodied red from Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée grand cru, France), in the medium, savoury reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity fresh; oak influence is some. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 28-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with duck, salmon, roast chicken, bolognese.
