The Top 10

#10 - 1989 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Conti, Vosne-Romanee, Burgundy - How can Romanee-Conti only be #10?!?? As great as this wine was, and as much of a "wow" factor it had, there were 9 other wines that just left me speechless... this one left me with a ton of words (which is also a good thing!)... perhaps it was too young, but this was pure finesse mixed with power. Beautiful clove, strawberry and cherries with turned black earth, dried leaves and just an amazing finish. One of the great Burgundies I've ever had, but not the greatest.
