DRC Grands Echezeaux 2003 750mL

Tasted blind, the 2003 Grands Ech�zeaux from Domaine de la Roman�e-Conti impressed its audience and duped everyone from thinking it heralded from the 2003 vintage. It has a potent ripe strawberry, mulberry and dried rose petal nose that actually had to throw off a little reduction upon first acquaintance. The palate is medium-bodied with layers of sappy red berry fruit. The initial tightness gradually dissipates to reveal quite a "stocky" Grands Ech�zeaux with good length, if not the detail of a top vintage from this vineyard." - The Wine Advocate, RP92 (NM), tasted 6/2015
