Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)
Grands Échézeaux Pinot Noir
Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
It’s always a special treat to drink any bottle of DRC and this bottle of Grand Echezeaux felt extra special. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hour. The 2005 pours a hazy ruby color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with ripe notes of black cherry, blackberry, strawberry, red flowers, cumin, sous bois, licorice, dried green herbs, and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. In true DRC style, the balance is impeccable and this is showing well; early in its prime. Drink now with through 2055. Bottle No. 2210/11809

2005 DRC Grands-Echezeaux Burgundy. Wine charity dinner bought by H&C S, hosted at the house. Pinot course. Drank alongside the '09 Kosta Browne 4 Barrel. Decanted 1.5 hrs prior. Earthy, slightly musty, herbs, and sour berries. Much thinner in texture than Kosta. Great!
