It’s time to open the finest bottles, as we don’t know what the Russians are doing these days
2017 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echezeaux
Clearly one of the most fascinating wine I have ever drunken. First, the wine was vibrating on the tip of my tongue, never had this experience before. Second, the wine changed its expression after every sip. Third, the palate presence was almost never-ending, for minutes.
The 2017 Echezauxis is charming, open and lovely to drink right now. It’s not a mistake to open a bottle now or to order a bottle in the restaurant. Regarding this 2017 you don’t have to wait 20 years. Concerning the fruit, its like walking in the fields of wild strawberries. Then the classic sous-bois, minerality, spice, floral notes and dark fruits. It was truly impressive to discover new facets after every sip. According to the experts, the simple Echezeaux is the earliest drinkable wine of the portfolio and also quite extrovert.
The wine offers drinking pleasure, but offer also room for contemplation. Wonderful
