Grands Echézeaux 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (1 BT)

Grands Echézeaux 1990 

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

u. 1x3cm, label soiled, capsule corroded, cork very slightly depressed, otherwise good appearance; Etiquette sale, capsule corrodée, bouchon très légèrement enfoncée, autrement bonne apparence

In 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. On Christmas Day 2019, perfumed and lingering, with great class. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

A small but excellent collection of mature Bordeaux and Burgundy with a special emphasis on Domaine de la Romanée Conti and the coveted 1990 vintage, widely regarded as one of the finest ever releases, which should now be approaching its peak drinking phase.
