Richard Brierley
Grands Echézeaux--Vintage 1966
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Bottles numbered 00109, 00111, 00112, 00113, 00114
Frederick Wildman importer strip labels
Levels: one 3.5cm, one 4cm and three 4.5cm; excellent appearance, In original wooden case
"This is perhaps the finest example that I have ever had of Grands Echézeaux and it towers over the 750 ml. As with its "little" brother, the nose is explosive and spectacularly complex with a stunning mixture of spice, earth, caramel and definite sous bois notes that lead to sweet, velvety, wonderfully rich and beautifully textured flavors that possess outstanding length. The balance is near perfect and it wasn't even necessary to drink this to enjoy it as the nose is dazzling in every respect. In short, knee bending." BH, March 12, 2005
