2019 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru 1x750ml

Robert Parker 96

The 2019 Grands A chezeaux Grand Cru is more reserved than the A chezeaux, even if it’s far from forbidding. Mingling aromas of blackberries and raspberries with notions of exotic spices, orange rind, smoked duck and forest floor, it’s full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with broad structural shoulders supplied by ripe, powdery tannins. Layered and muscular, it’s remarkably seamless and integrated at this early stage, concluding with a long, sapid finish. [William Kelley, 02/01/2022]
