Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échézeaux Magnum 1.5L 2004

Compared to the Echézeaux's expressive spiciness, the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échézeaux Magnum 1.5L 2004 exhibits an even more elegant flavour profile. The wine boasts an ultra high-toned floral and spice-infused aroma that is initially quite closed, possibly due to a subtle reduction. If you plan to try a bottle of this wine while it is still young, it is recommended that you decant it first.

The magnum bottle size, which holds 1.5 litres of wine, provides several benefits to the appearance of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Échézeaux. Not only does it make the bottle appear larger and more impressive, but the larger volume of wine in the bottle also slows the aging process, allowing the wine to develop more complex and nuanced flavours over time.

Although this is not a big wine, it is characterized by superb detail and unmatched precision. The linear and ultra-pure medium full flavours exhibit more finesse and refinement than what is typically associated with a relatively powerful and muscular wine. However, it is important to note that this wine is currently very understated and will require at least a decade of cellar time to fully open up. It is a wine for the patient, but the stunning detail and precision make it well worth the wait.
