An icon a day: DRC Grands Echezeaux 1971
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Echezeaux 1971 Burgundy, France
Cloudy and pale coloured on pouring, this doesn't look to promising, but actually it's drinking superbly. Old earthy nose with some smooth bright cherry fruit. The palate, however, is beautifully elegant with subtle, sweet cherry and herb fruit, some undergrowth and fine spicy notes. Super-smooth with good complexity and a bit of sweetness. This is beautiful, but drink now. 95/100 (Tasted at The Sampler)
Labels: Burgundy, France, pinot noir

Ah, one of Jamie's mud specials...
I drank '69 DRC La Tache at my recent 40th birthday party! Superb!
