Description:

*Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Grands Echezeaux 1998
Cote de Nuits
banded prior to inspection

"Very deep ruby color. This is the only wine to display a discreet touch of ago that complements the complex but reluctant aromas of spice, blackberry and cassis. The robust, muscular flavors have tightened up considerable in the last few years and while this stops short of being a bruiser, this is a big wine that clearly has more underlying material than the Echézeaux. Very classy and stylish because even though it's a very powerful wine, it is still elegant and harmonious." Burghound, 92 pts. 05/04
6 bottles (owc)
Estimate $2,000-3,000
