2018 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru

"Showing more tannin and backbone than DRC's Echezeaux bottling, which tends to be the case, this comes from vines aged between 70 and 90 years old and benefitted from cooler, more moisture-retentive soils in 2018. Intensely spicy, with clove and tobacco pouch aromas, impressive texture and weight, refreshing supporting acidity and lots of underlying concentration. Drinking Window: 2024-2038."- 96/100 Decanter
