Echézeaux, Domaine de la Romanée Conti 2010

Barrel Sample:

Exuberantly and ripe spicy purple fruit also exhibits distinct floral and warm earth nuances that go on to suffuse the rich and finely detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent underlying tension before terminating in a focused, intense and gorgeously long finish. This doesn't have the sheer depth of the Corton but it's materially finer and just as persistent. A qualitative choice though I underscore that these are two very different wines as the Corton is overtly if sleekly muscular whereas the Ech is by comparison a wine of finesse.
