    March 8, 2024 - DRC Montrachet Vertical: Light and airy, with great Vosne spice and touch of stem. 02s are just drinking absolutely fabulously right now.

    May 22, 2023 - A favorite vintage for me. Lovely violet notes and on the palate this was perfect in every respect. Enticing juice.

    February 4, 2023 - Pedro's visit to Tucson: Tasted alongside the '90 and '98 and DRC GE. I was surprised that this wine showed much younger than I thought it would. This is in stark contrast to my notes when tasted 10 years ago. Go figure. Dark, floral, stems and spice. Great structure and fruit but balanced and should develop nicely with time. This has great potential imo...whether or not it will reach the heights of the '90....who knows?

    October 14, 2022 - Wines of the Gods (House of AC and JC): Component of DRC Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux vertical. Medium ruby with expansive flower garden nose whipped with essence of Bing cherries, sliding into a savoury palate of Tayberries. Long somewhat savage palate with plum smoked wild boar notes and long to go. A great bottle but clearly smacked out of the park by the 02 LT in this flight. Best 2028-2052.

    June 13, 2022 - Very floral, with plenty of dried flower and lavender action. There’s some hoisin and cherry fruit too. It is velvety, with decent flesh and excellent minerally detail. There’s some smoked meats towards the finish and it is powerful yet airy and graceful.

Burgundy-Report

  • By Bill Nanson
    7/1/2005 (link)

    (Romanée-Conti Grands-Echézeaux) There’s a little haze to the wine from this bottle and slightly paler colour vs the Echézeaux. The nose has a little extra lift vs the deeper Echezeaux, also shows an extra creamy edge. This wine really distinguishes itself by the intensity of its finish vs the previous two reds. It doesn’t give the ‘rush’ provided by the Echézeaux’ acidity but instead provides a warmer, denser aspect to the extract. The tannins have similar volume to the Echézeaux, but with finer structure. Lingers excellently on the palate.

Rockss and Fruit

  • By Lyle Fass

    (DRC Grands Échézeaux) Profound aromatic complexity here with coffee bean, black cherry, boysenberries, spice, butterscotch (oak?), and a slight herbal tinge that only added to the cacophany of smells. One of the noses of the day. Well there were many noses of the day. Big and ripe in the mouth with great density. Spherical in it's texture. Really gets to every nook and cranny in the mouth. Pretty explosive finish of red mixed with a little black fruit. Very floral on the palate along with noble tannins. Some serious structure and amazing length indicates that this will be one for the ages. An amazing wine and the best DRC Grands Échézeaux I have tasted in my limited experience. A standout today.
