Light ruby in color. The nose is great but a bit tighter than the Clos Vougeot. Cherries, and some rhubarb and cranberries. Also some cedar. On the palate, this is medium bodied with nice cherry and cranberry fruit. There are slight tannins. Lots of depth. This continued to improve in the glass but really needs more cellar time. It has good acidity. Long finish. A lovely wine proving why the better wines from Echezeaux justify its Grand Cru status.
Ruby in color. Gorgeous nose. Surprisingly accessible. Cherries, black cherries, floral notes and slight baking spices. Complex. On the palate, this is very pretty. Elegant. A soft texture but yet firm. Cherries and black cherries. Just a touch of earth and spice. Long finish. Great balance. While this is sure to improve for twenty years, it is superb right now. This is an expensive wine in anybody's book, but given the state of Burgundy, this is a great wine that will justify its price (relatively speaking). Lots of upside here.
Its always a treat to drink wines from DRC. This is obviously young but was drinking quite well. Ruby in color, clear and bright. An intoxicating nose. Earthy with macerated cherries, spice and a slight clay note. On the palate, this took some time to open. Sour cherries with a soft texture. Tightly layered. Long finish. Very smooth, not bite. A couple of ounces saved for day 2 was even better showing more depth and medium tannins. Also a bit of anise on the finish. For those lucky enough to be able to afford this and can find it, ageing will be rewarded.
