A Great Start

to '07... The 2002 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley is a fabulous wine. It opened up a little bit and is now displaying gorgeous fruit and a nice mocha nose... awesome. The 1995 Chateau Angelus is always a winner, though it appeared, as most of the 1995s do right now, to be a bit tight and closed. Nice cedar coming through. The 2000 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Echezeaux is drinking so pretty right now. If you have the 00, 01 and 02, drink the 00 while the other two develop. Cherry, cinnamon, and clove... beautiful. The 1989 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Grands Echezeaux is mind blowing and goes to the top of the 2007 list. An immense, powerful wine, this is all earth, cedar and black cherries. It took about an hour or so to open up, and then blossomed. It has a lot of earth, but is so pure with its fruit. This is what makes GE so much better than the E... One of the great Burgundies I've had...
