Description
Echézeaux 1988
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru
u. 3cm, scuffed and slightly wrinkled label, heavily chipped wax capsule
Average Age of vines: 31 years Average Production: 1340 Total Production 1988 (doz): 978 Yield (hl/hectare): 18.84 Briary, yet rosy nose. Plummy overtones. Inky too. The tannin and structure made it a keeper, but it can now be drunk with real pleasure. Maybe it has a touch of 1995 to it. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
