ECHEZEAUX 1996 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Echézeaux 1996 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruHeavily scuffed, stained, and torn labels, straw wrappers adhered to most of bottles and back labels, vintage obscured, capsule removed and replaced revealing vintage, 1 wrinkled capsule, excellent levels, color, and clarityMore subdued nose than the Grands Echézeaux. Heathery. A touch meaty. Toffee. Very 'smoky' taste. Quite irony/earthy. One feels the tannin. Coming out of its adolescence. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA (90-92)2 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
