1974 DRC Grands Echezeaux

Post by g-man »

Amber hue with a remaining of a ruby core.

A beautiful delicate pinot nose offering a wisp of lavendar, allspice, cedar and currants

The palate was a bit acidic and watery. A full mouthful reveals lemony strawberries with a slight bitter root finish reminding me of a coffee that got brewed with too much water and not enough beans.

Truly an experience, in wasting money that is ;-)

I recognise that I am probably a lost cause to the world of Burgundy lovers, but I'm not finding your tasting note a compelling reason to try to change this!
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
