Grands-Echézeaux--Vintage 1959
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
No 2956, 2959; Ex-Christie's London, lot 257, 27 Nov 1968
Levels: 3cm; lightly bin soiled labels, nicked capsules
"Experts consider 1959 to be an extraordinary vintage for DRC. This Grands Echezeaux is fully mature. The wine revealed a light to medium ruby color with considerable amber. A decadent, stunning perfume of smoked meats, herbs, oriental spices and sweet jammy fruit exhibited no signs of fatigue or oxidation. Expansive and sweet, this high alcohol, viscous wine offers extraordinary pleasure. Owners fortunate enough to have a few bottles in their cellar should make plans to drink them over the next several years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #84 (Dec 1992)
