GRANDS ECHEZEAUX 1990 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Grands Echézeaux 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruLevel into the neck, slightly nicked label, cellar soiled label, slightly nicked capsule, slight sign of seepage, slightly sunken corkIn 2018, there is the immediate impact and piercing purity of Pinot fruit on the nose that marks it out as DRC. The sweet succulence on the palate mixes with the earth of the vineyard, smooth and mature now but with underlying ripples of briary brambles and exotic dried fruit. The finish stays with you, seamless and yet with the untamed elements of very great Burgundy in a headline year. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 931 bt (sc)Estimates are per lot
