Sorry...

I've been really not keeping up with this... not that much great wine in the last week either... except for Tuesday night. The 2002 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Grands Echezeaux is so dominated by wood, that the pretty strawberry, raspberry and earth perfume almost couldn't penetrate... right now the wine is unbalanced and acidic. Give it a few years before opening... the 1998 Penfold's Grange on the other had is tremendous. Simply amazing wine. Black raspberry with tons of clove, vanilla, black pepper... amazing depth and layers of fruit. It's 8 years old and tastes like it was just bottled... give it a decade.
