Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Grands Échézeaux Pinot Noir 2002

9.7

Gloriously dark and intense. Blueberry, sour cherry, an inky gnarly blue iron depth. Packed with flavor but still very defined. Clarity and intensity. Gorgeous and long. Amazing — 9 years ago

great notes for a darn good bottle.

2002 - this I️ thought lacked a little of the steamy in your face rose petal nose I️ associate with DRC. The core of red fruits were definitely present on the palate and with some coaxing started to show some real magic - a great wine that can only improve with more time. Keep your hands off this one

A dark fruit very fresh nose that's great. Lovely clarity of fruit on the palate. Riper, more fruit forward but at best medium bodied. Real presence. — 10 years ago

Wonderful stuff. Real gnarly blue fruit on the nose. Lovely balance and dark, bramble salinity. On the palate great precision and clarity. Some intense, almost plummy sour fruit but incredible depth aligned with brightness and structure. Really spectacular and in a great place now. This is DRC in apogee... fascinating, challenging and delicious. — 9 years ago

This a great wine. Drinks perfectly right now

Conrad Green

And if you love Sassicaia, this is significantly a better, more balanced wine than the 85. Given the cost it's a buy relatively

Jean-Francois Pelletier

Thanks for the notes. I haven't tried the 85 yet but I have both the 88 and 90. The 88 is my favorite over the 90. Glad to know the 88 is showing better than the 85!

Just looked "clarity" up in the dictionary and this wine was listed. Thanks a lot, Merriam-Webster, self-referential isn't helpful! — 11 years ago

These are the real deal, better than what I read about them from the geek set. Powerful and elegant at the same time, tremendous depth and clarity.
