Wine Advocate (92)The Echézeaux 2000 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti won the hearts of everyone around the table–one of those wines that you just cannot help falling for. It has a dark garnet core with thin bricking on the rim. The nose is actually reminiscent of a fine Musigny from de Vogüé, a little introverted at first but it's just kidding with you and bursts open with infectious joie de vivre. The palate is medium-bodied, quite linear at first with superb tension and energy. No, it is not as complex as the Grands Echézeaux 2000 but that Loire-like, sappy finish is beguiling. Drink now and enjoy over the next 15 years. Given the growing season this performs way above expectations. |

Wine Advocate (92)The Grands Echézeaux 2000 is a cerebral Burgundy, not quite as convincing as it was three years ago, but still a great wine. Here it has a vibrant red berry, stony bouquet that is reserved at first, but opens nicely with limestone and sea-spray scents emerging with time. It has a quite brilliant balance on the palate–not a powerful Grands Echézeaux but complex, with hints of black olive and chlorophyll emerging toward the finish that gently fans out and becomes a little spicier as it aerates. Superb. |

Vintage Tastings (93)There was one more Burgundy on our agenda, a 2003 Rouget Vosne Romanee Cros Parantoux. The Rouget had a deep, saucy, concentrated nose, again this grilled endive thing around a core of plum, cassis, soda and liqueur. It was a thick wine, and the second tasty 2003 Burg that I had had on this trip. It was really good, hedonistic and rich, long and concentrated, sweet and hearty, if anything a touch too sweet, but hey, that's 2003 (93). |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-90)Good full deep red. Smoky aromas of cherry, currant and iron, lifted by floral and mineral elements. Densely packed but closed, and distinctly dry after the Mazis and Latricieres. Cool flavors of dark berries, minerals and mint. Strong tannins coat the teeth and currently shorten the wine fruit. This was rather heavily extracted: like the Nuits Lavieres, it got a bit more pigeage |

Vintage Tastings (93)There was one more Burgundy on our agenda, a 2003 Rouget Vosne Romanee Cros Parantoux. The Rouget had a deep, saucy, concentrated nose, again this grilled endive thing around a core of plum, cassis, soda and liqueur. It was a thick wine, and the second tasty 2003 Burg that I had had on this trip. It was really good, hedonistic and rich, long and concentrated, sweet and hearty, if anything a touch too sweet, but hey, that's 2003 (93). |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-90)Good full deep red. Smoky aromas of cherry, currant and iron, lifted by floral and mineral elements. Densely packed but closed, and distinctly dry after the Mazis and Latricieres. Cool flavors of dark berries, minerals and mint. Strong tannins coat the teeth and currently shorten the wine fruit. This was rather heavily extracted: like the Nuits Lavieres, it got a bit more pigeage |
