DRC Grands Échézeaux 1998
The 1998 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Grands Échézeaux represents a deeper, more muscular counterpart to the estate’s standard Échézeaux.
It has a complex but initially reluctant nose of blackberry, cassis, exotic Asian spice, earth, and tobacco, balanced by a touch of mature secondary development and game.
The palate has a massive, robust and muscular structure with dense redcurrant, dark berries, and concentrated meatiness.
Also it has a firm framework of acidity and noticeable, slightly drying tannins that yield a long, austere finish.
This vintage has reached full maturity.
Overall, DRC created 7,792 bottles of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échézeaux in 1998.
As a result, this vintage is very scarce now.
