91 DRC Echezeaux

This tasting note is a few years old, from the autumn of 2007. This wine is here now, because it was this bottle who opened my eyes towards Burgundy, and later in January 2008 it was a 1998 Armand Rousseau Chambertin that nailed it.

1991 Domaine de la Romanée Conti, Echezeaux;
Bright ruby red, garnet rim. A level fill. Very youthfull, raspberry, strawberries, liquorice, hints of dry leafs, minerals even, getting some secondary aromas with more air, floral and perfumed overtones. Almost crisp acidity, tannins quite soft and elegant, such eleganse, purity, fantastic balance, great length. 92
