January 26, 2024 - The texture here is remarkable, setting it apart from the other DRC wines in the flight. A gorgeous wine, and the theme today seems to be the more recent DRC wines showing beautifully while the 90's bottles are often varying degrees of flawed - or more likely we are just unlucky today on the older bottles. In any case, this is a lovely wine.

May 26, 2023 - During a Paulee dinner, so only brief impressions. Very youthful, I would not open this before 2028. A pleasure today but so much more to come. Aromatically not yet mature. The structure here is excellent, rich but deleniated.

October 14, 2022 - Wines of the Gods (House of AC and JC): Component of DRC Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux vertical. Dark ruby with smoked Morello cherry nose. Massive rich huckleberry palate with impressive grip and a very long finish. This speaks to the vintage and smart money went deep on these big boy 2005's of earthly delight. So balanced can be broached now but best 2032-2062.

May 2, 2022 - From a restaurant list with little time in the decanter: this remained reserved and we only had hints of its potential to enjoy. The mid palette grew in depth woth air, but the nose remained timid.

4/1/2008 (link)(Romanée-Conti Grands-Echézeaux) The aromatics have a much deeper aspect - mulberry and savoury oak, a little spice and only faint stems - much more ‘adult’ than the obviously riper Echézeaux. In the mouth it’s very tight, but at the same time, more intense. The tannin just shows a little astringency in the mid-palate, the impression is just a little less fresh than the Echézeaux too. The finish is a slow diminuendo and less impressive today than that of the Echézeaux. The aromatics are the only dimension that clearly outpoints the previous wine - clinging beautifully to the glass. This has great potential, but today has quite a sullen aspect.
