Grands Echézeaux 2005

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Excellent levels and appearance, straw wrapped, case banded until inspection; Excellents niveaux et apparence, emballées avec de la paille, caisse cerclée d'origine jusqu'à l'inspection

Not as open on the nose as the Echézeaux, which is par for course at this early stage. Incredible cherry centre to it. Much more concentrated♛ and intense than the Echézeaux. Almost peaty/earthy flavours on the finish. Real plummy depth and violetty aftertaste. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
