Suggestion from March 27 2023
Wine: 2008 Grands Echézeaux
Producer: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Comment: A broad array of classic Vosne spice elements add nuance to the super-fresh mildly earthy dark berry and rose petal aromas. The rich, full-bodied and palate staining big-bodied flavors flash a taut muscularity before culminating in a beautifully focused and precise finish that offers excellent persistence. Not surprisingly at only 10 years of age, this is still very young and a wine that will need at least 5 to 8 more years of bottle age first.
