1996 Grands Echezeaux, Domaine de la Romanee Conti

This wine has fairly deep intensity ruby colour. On nose it gives pronounced aromas of red plum, rose perfume, tangerine peel, cherry jam, vanilla, forest floor, licorice with touch of meatiness. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol and slightly fuller than medium bodied. Medium fine-grained tannin as well. The palate gives fairly high intensity flavours of red cherry, rose, cedar, cabbage and touch of meat, licorice and clove. Long length with red plummy finish. (94)

好酒一枝，酒香複雜而強烈，其複雜性會令人有多重感覺，十分誘人。酒的口感較豐厚，亦順滑。酒味仍保持一定力度， 複雜性與酒香頗一致，但沒有酒香那麼強。餘韻長而厚，好飲。以此葡萄園來說，這酒莊真的做出了出眾的 GRANDS ECHEZEAUX，剛剛夠94分。
