1969 DRC Grands Echezeaux, Reserve Nicolas - drank at Paris 1930 in Taipei for parents' ruby anniversary. Expectations were high, and I had the bottle chilled for a bit before serving to ensure optimum temperature.
The wine was superb. Loads of fruit like raspberries and black cherries, with lots of sweetness in the nose. Farmy with lots of smoked meats and bacon fat. A little bit plummy with some floral and rose notes. Despite using the Schott Diva Burgundy glasses instead of the Riedel Sommelier Burgundy Grand Cru, the full-blown experience of the beautiful nose was still amazing. The wine was just so elegant, with enough concentration and power yet not overwhelming. One of the best bottles of red Burgundy I've had recently.
