Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's 2002 Echézeaux came across as quite powerful, rich and deep, with sweet tannins and layers of round, generous fruit.
Bright ruby. Tight, sweet nose with a hint of violets. Attractive savoury note under lively, quite delicate fruit. There is real lift here. Perhaps not for the very long term but already a very attractive nose. Not mammoth concentration but impressive balance. Still quite noticeable tannins and great persistence – very much house style. Long. (JR)
Medium red. Aromas of raspberry, red cherry, orange peel, minerals and tobacco, with a bit of exotic, high-toned oak. Juicy, fine-grained and suave, with a restrained sweetness. Lively, lingering flavors of redcurrant, iron and tobacco. Seems better than the 2003.
