Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 2015 Echézeaux
Grand Cru Red 750 ml
Note: approximately 45+ year old vines from 2 different climats, 90% of which is in Les Poulaillères and the remainder is in Clos St. Denis
Tasting note: A wonderfully spicy, fresh and equally ripe nose blends together more deeply pitched notes of plum, violet, plum, sandalwood and hoisin wisps. There is impressive richness to the seductively textured yet quite powerful full-bodied flavors that possess excellent density thanks to the abundant dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the firm but not rigid tannins on the mouth coating and strikingly long finish. This is built-to-age and like the Corton, this has made huge quality strides over the past ten vintages.
