2002 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Echezeaux Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 93

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s 2002 Echézeaux came across as quite powerful, rich and deep, with sweet tannins and layers of round, generous fruit. [Antonio Galloni, 01/05/2012]

This Echezeaux is at an intriguing stage. It has a striking feral nose: damp earth, woodland, broody, sea salt and a touch of fennel and green pepper. The stalkiness is quite noticeable at present. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of bell pepper on the entry, with tart black cherry, iodine and a touch of tar/cedar towards the finish. Fine, but perhaps lacking a little class at the moment. Drink now-2018. Tasted June 2010. [Neal Martin, 06/01/2010]
