2000 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, DRC, Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

The Echezeaux 2000 from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti won the hearts of everyone around the table-one of those wines that you just cannot help falling for. It has a dark garnet core with thin bricking on the rim. The nose is actually reminiscent of a fine Musigny from de Vogue, a little introverted at first but it's just kidding with you and bursts open with infectious joie de vivre. The palate is medium-bodied, quite linear at first with superb tension and energy. No, it is not as complex as the Grands Echezeaux 2000 but that Loire-like, sappy finish is beguiling. Drink now and enjoy over the next 15 years. Given the growing season this performs way above expectations. (NM)" (April 2015)
