Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Echezeaux Grand Cru, 2006, 6x75
The expressive nose of maturing red and black fruit remains markedly floral in character, with a plethora of spice and earth nuances. Good richness is present in the round and delicious middle-weight flavours, which possess an attractively textured and punchy finish, delivering solid—if not truly remarkable—depth and length.
The overall sense of balance is notable, with only a trace of backend warmth. Approaching its initial drinking window, the 2006 Ech should benefit from another 3 to 5 years of cellaring.
Best from 2018 onward.
