1978 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru

"Powerfully ripe and expressive aromas that display a wonderfully spicy mix of sous bois and very warm earth notes followed by quite ripe and intense flavors underpinned by noticeable finishing structure that has a slightly rustic character to it. This is still quite vibrant and may very well outlive all of the DRC '78s with the possible exception of the Romanée-Conti. In short, this is a classic Grands-Echézeaux. Consistent notes." 93/100 - Burghound
