Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru 2010 0,75L

ROBERT PARKER “Picked slightly earlier than the Echezeaux 2010 on 29th and 30th September, the Grands Echezeaux is a turn volte-face from its “little brother”. It is much deeper and more expansive on the nose with layers of pure Morello, raspberry, game and an intriguing slight musky scent. As usual at this nascent stage it is deceptively understated, but it blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied but patently has more weight and dimension than the Echezeaux, the tannins a little grippier. There is a citric thread on the entry that is embroidered through this wine, keeping it supremely well focused and highlighting the wonderful structure and symmetry on the finish. This is a beautiful Grands Echezeaux: fresh, complex and true to its terroir. Total production is 903 cases. Tasted January 2013. “
