Note di degustazione
Tasted blind, the 2003 Grands Echézeaux from Domaine de la Romanée-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 Echézeaux with good length, if not the detail of a top vintage from this vineyard.

The most glorious bottle! Rich and sweet and opulent with DRC violets in the top note but no hint of the awkward dry tannins that plague some 2003s. Complete, juicy, heady but no excess alcohol. Utterly enveloping. All pleasure. So round and sweet. Velvety and perfect pitch now. Fabissimo. (JR)
Good red-ruby. Superripe aromas of dark raspberry, currant and truffle. Large-scaled and broad but showing less early sweetness than the Echezeaux; more reserved, fresher and more elegant. Finishes with substantial tannins that will require several years of bottle aging.
Bright crimson with a slightly pale rim. Rather smudgier, less crystal clear, even if richer, on the nose than the Echezéaux. Some roast chestnuts. More backward than the Echezéaux certainly. Very sweet and rather aggressively simple at present. Something still raw about this with quite marked, jagged tannins on the finish. Definitely awkward now. (JR)
