The red wine Romanée-Conti Grand Cru AOC Monopole, vintage 2000 from the winery Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has been rated in 2008 with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Pinot Noir from the region Cote de Nuits in France.
Medium carmine garnet, violet core, ruby reflections, broad ochre rim. Initially delicate caramel notes on the nose, sweet wild berry confit, a hint of orange zest, some licorice, underlaid with a delicate hint of truffle. Sweet on the palate, soft, silky texture, red berry fruit, delicate hints of violets. Then a surprise: slightly dry, somewhat leafy tannins, but with a sweet nougat fruit, ethereal mint notes and a fine minerality, long sweet finish. I don't dare to say how strong the vegetal note in the backbone of the wine will be in the future, but it is unlikely to have a negative effect on its ageing potential.
