1997 Domaine de la Romanee Conti Echezeaux Grand Cru

(88 Points) The nose here is still extremely floral and trimmed subtle but classic Vosne spice that introduces medium weight flavors of good richness but not as much nuance or grace that one might want. This is solidly structured for the vintage and while there is clearly good material here, this does not exceed its usual ranking at the bottom of the DRC hierarchy in '97.
