Dom. Romane Conti 1997: One of the World’s Finest
A bottle of Dom. Romane Conti vintage 1997 will set you back approx. $1,540.00 and is considered one of the world’s most expensive wine. This French red Burgundy smells of berries, spices and leather. Dark in color, it hints at flavors of soy sauce, flowers and licorice. The aroma is rich and penetrating without being too profound. The Romane Conti is a rare wine that has carved a niche for itself along the years. At over fifteen hundred dollars a bottle, it no longer has anything to prove. Consistently, the Romane Conti fetches prices around the thousand dollar mark no matter the vintage.
Château Lafite-Rothschild, Pauilla 1982
Along with Latour, this First Growth is one of the two most famous and prestigious properties of Bordeaux. Château Lafite-Rothschild is also one of the largest estates in the Médoc, producign between 15,000 and 25,000 cases of the year. Centuries of prestige have ensured consistent demand for these wines, so even with the current level of production, one can count on them being fantastically expensive. For those who can afford these Lafite-Rothschild, expect a wonderfully concentrated, supremely elegant wine with ineffable aromas of ripe berries, lead pencil, minerals and flowers, plus outstanding cellaring potential.
