November 6, 2022 - Probably more strict on this since I brought it. Needed a lot of air, but it had perfumed spices, great acidity, and cool fruit on the palate. Wonderful nose. Could likely benefit from more time, but delicious now.

March 11, 2022 - In a good place. Showing more spice on the nose. Reasonable structure in balance with fresh fruit. A little heavier than I expected and the finish a little longer than I expected. Pleasant surprise.

March 10, 2022 - Zachy's La Paulee 2022 (Le Bernardin Prive): /16424, next to 01 GE. Quite muted when served and took some time to open. Does not have the clarity I remembered (one of my favorite vintages of Echezeaux chez Domaine), but pretty and understated. Purple fruit and spice. 93

September 6, 2021 - 2001 Echezeaux was not ready for prime time. Still a fair amount of oak which surprised me. Strong coffee and char notes on the palate that took awhile to tamper down as it had more oak spice than it did fruit for awhile. The sweetness of the fruit started to come out a hour or so after but it never really showed itself. I think a few hours in the decanter would have been really beneficial.

11/1/2005 (link)(Romanée-Conti Echézeaux) Tasted blind. Medium, medium-plus colour. High-toned, less dense than the previous 2003, narrower and more floral, slowly adds weight and dimension. Lovely palate, plenty of fine tannin, fresh candied red fruit. Good density, a slow diminuendo to the reasonably long finish. Very stylish. Someone else guessed the vintage, I got the appellation.

7/1/2004 (link)(Romanée-Conti Echézeaux) Medium, medium-plus cherry red in colour. The nose is of crushed cherry and raspberries that overlay a faintly spicy, subtle coffee-bean base. The tannin seems to show a little more grip than the last tasting, but frankly (despite chewing on bread for the last ten minutes) I keep getting 'Montrachet-flashbacks' as I taste. The spicy palate is silken with excellent acidity and a tinge of oak on the finish that's reminiscent of the Montrachet - unless that's still the Montrachet! Clearly a pure and distinguished wine, but doesn't show that joie de vivre that was so evident in January.

3/1/2004 (link)(Romanée-Conti Echézeaux) Medium, medium-plus cherry red. Bright and intense nose of red and black cherry - shaded to red - with raspberry and subtle spice. The palate is sweet with very smooth tannin, nice concentration and just a little vanilla on the finish - a finish of 20-30 seconds. Smooth, understated and very drinkable - I'm surprised how easily this drinks. With time the impressive nose develops a little more spice. To put this wine firmly into context, after the La Tâche and Romanée-Conti, the nose is slightly less concentrated and certainly more diffuse. Still, there's super length if less depth on the palate - in a word the wine is just 'simpler' than the top two, but nonetheless a very fine Échézeaux.
