1997 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Echézeaux
WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Bright, consistent, firm ruby colour to rim. The nose expands slowly to reveal intense, perfumed fruits and a concentrated earthy, stony richness. The palate has fine depth and richness, a seductive structure and a full, satisfying, generous finish.

    Similar dark red. Perfumed, vinous aromas of crystallized dark berries and oriental spices. A step up in sweetness and depth of flavor; this already shows extravagant inner-mouth flavor and personality. Stronger but perfectly integrated acids give this superb grip for the vintage. Very long, subtle and firm on the finish, with a lively hint of licorice. Showing extremely well today.
