1987 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru

"It's funny how some wines, even rarer ones, come your way reasonably often and others, like this one, show up every 25 years or so as I hadn't had this since 1995! The spicy if discreet nose reluctantly offers up its perfumed aromas of sous-bois, spice, dried flowers and cool dried red berry fruit. There is excellent energy and detail to the delicious middle weight flavors that culminate in a lingering if slightly spiky and warm finish." - Burghound
