Echézeaux, Domaine de la Romanée Conti 1993

An explosive black fruit nose of obvious breed and classic leads to very firm, densely concentrated, massively structured flavors of superb depth and extract and a somewhat short finish. This has all the material it needs for a very long life and it should go for 30 years with no difficulty at all if properly stored. At present, it's still sorting itself out but it should be worth the wait.

Super vanilla, coffee, berry character, quite oaky and more like a Bordeaux than a Burgundy, but how can we fault it? Well structured and refined. Better in 2000.
