Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 30, 2006 - This was my second bottle of DRC Echezeaux and, wow, was I bowled over (the first was a recent opening of a 1988 Jeroboam I brought to a friend's 50th birthday party - it was over the hill). I am a California Pinot lover and have tried scores of disappointing Burgundies, and this certainly wasn't one of them. I splurged on this at Mistura in Toronto (actually only $540 Canadian if I recall correctly, pretty good considering the retail market for this wine) with my wife. It was the most subtle, sexy, smooth Pinot I've ever tasted - you could literally taste the understated elegance - loads of sweet berries and cherries. I would drink this over the best of Cali Pinots any day, but then again I'm not willing to spend $400-500 a pop.
