Lot #199. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Echézeaux 2005

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 97 NM.
"I was blown away by the 2005 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru because though I have tasted it two or three times, never could I envisage that it would reach this level. It has laser-like precision on the nose with more blue fruit than I remember, so much mineralité, as if someone had just ground limestone directly into the wine glass. The palate is exquisitely balanced with filigree tannins framing the pure red fruit, a Pinot Noir with unerring symmetry. It gains weight and depth with aeration, ultimately transforming into a profound wine and one of the best bottles of Grands-Echézeaux that I have tasted from the domaine. Tasted at Noizé restaurant in London." Neal Martin, Vinous.com, Jul 2019
Notes: Nicked capsule, very lightly scuffed label, #00025.
