Grands Echézeaux--Vintage 2000
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
"There is a hint of reduction and I would decant this first. Finer and more elegant nose combining very rich, forward, expressive aromas of cherries, fresh crushed raspberries and yet more floral notes that merge seamlessly with round, supple yet quite intense flavors that offer better depth and concentration than the Echezeaux plus outstanding length. This remains very pinot in character with dusty tannins and sweet, mouth coating sap buffering it. A very good if not outstanding Grands Echezeaux that will drink well young but should keep well."
