Saturday, November 5, 2016 - DRC 2013 Vintage Presentation: 3.5 ha / 9’586 btls. in 2013, 21hl/ha. Medium-light garnet. Like in all seven DRC Grand Cru reds today the still quite closed nose started with a light touch of bee wax overlaying the red fruit. I don’t know why, may be it is just the stage they are in. On the palate though the tell tale DRC aromas with the signature notes of grape stalks, earth, subtle spices and a very light animalic touch come through. Like in the Echezeaux there is predominantly red fruit in the nose but with additional licorice notes. The tannins are very present also here like in all Crus in this vintage calling for 10 year’s of patience in the cellar. I found the difference between the Echezeaux and Grand Echezeaux quite small.
