Two 98 Grands Echezeaux

1998 Domaine de la Romanée Conti, Grands Echezeaux;
Uncertain storage. Garnet, but a bit cloudy and lots of sediments. Very acidic, not to much fruit, some strawberry jam, not very complex, short finish. Most likely stored to warm. 77

1998 Domaine de la Romanée Conti, Grands Echezeaux;
Totally different bottle, Bright garnet, very closed, opened up beautifully after two hours in decanter, very soft texture, like velvet, very seductive, some strawberries, tender and transparent, such elegance, fantastic balance, remarkable finish, texture and the mouthfeel is so special, I hardly notice the flavours, just truly pure and elegant Pinot. Will keep. 94
