Details
Grands Echézeaux--Vintage 1996
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Bottles numbered 4268-4270, 4272-4273
"Deep ruby. Still aromatically tight and backward with elegant red and black fruit aromas that are followed by middle weight, earthy, reserved flavors and a very firm but not hard finish. With 90 minutes of air, this becomes superbly elegant and spicy with outstanding precision and detail. At this point, this is an intellectual wine as it's only hinting at the ultimate potential and in good storage, it should live for decades. Moreover, given how many '96s are showing today, this has to rank among the best of the vintage. Multiple and consistent notes." BH, Oct 1, 2006
