France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Still alive, but fading quickly as soon as the bottle is opened. Slightly rusty appearance. Very secondary, with orange rind and a reasonable length, before it falls apart. Still enjoyable. g+
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
A lovely wine. Intense, delicious, refined, balanced and long. Very pretty fruit, slightly autumnal. This one hit the spot for me - other wines had more potential but this felt as if it was in its prime drinking window, although it surely has plenty of life ahead. dg+

Slightly vegetal at first? But it quickly blows off to reveal an intense and pure pinot. Very long and quite tannic. This is still young, and needs 5 or 10 years to develop its undoubted potential. dg-

Browning slightly. This is very classy. Purity of fruit, silky, intense, with plenty of backbone. Refined and understated. dg

Smoky, rusty, browning. Very mature, with a hint of oxidation. Still some acidity to hold it together. Very pleasant. vg
