Bid on this bottle of 1983 DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru (90BH, 90RP). Wine Advocate: "The Grands Echezeaux is velvety and forward, and given its quality, a good value for a Domaine de la Romanee-Conti wine. The 1983 vintage for Domaine de la Romanee-Conti was a very tough year. First there was hail, then the advent of rot in August thanks to the tropical heat and humidity. When the harvest occurred, the domaine instructed its pickers to pick the grapes, not the grape bunches, by hand and to discard all of the rotten grapes. The results are splendidly concentrated, rich wines, but wines that are extremely expensive and need at least a decade of cellaring. (RP)" (12/1989)

Still quite deeply colored with only moderate bricking. Very ripe, indeed even ever so slightly roasted, earthy and spicy aromas that are now largely secondary in character blend into rich, full-bodied and still moderately tannic flavors that display no overt hints of hail or rot though there is a hint of under ripeness on the backend. The finish is firm but not tough and this should continue to mellow if not necessarily improve from here.
