After drinking a bottle of this wine on March 7, and a bit disappointed, I am happy to report that the bottle variation of the March Potel Grands-Echezeaux was disappointing compared to this bottle. Rich and round in the mouth with lingering and luscious cherry, blackberry and plum give the mouth-coating fruit experience you want from a Burgundy. The nose invites, the perfume penetrates the senses and the palate, and finish is oh so fine! Back on board with the excellence you expect from Potel.

Drink now or yesterday. Not going to get better. The cherry is faintly present, the plum is dominant. Pleasant and still supple with some attractive qualities on the nose, but the promised long life has been lived. Drink up

Very different compared to the Gros Freres. Not expressive on the nose. Lean and acidic on the palate, good delineation, minerality, pretty Long but nothing special here.

Rich cherry, plum and blackberry merge into an extracted, structured, balanced lovliness whose perfume lingers and seduces. The blockbuster finish presages a long life.

樱桃、李子、红茶、泥土，少许的木香。以结构感取胜的一款酒，香气的表达并不算丰富，但入口单宁的柔细和酸度的萦绕依旧是夜丘特级园的水准。

Drank alongside the 2007. The 2006 is much more completed. Everything is so balanced. Very classy but powerful. I love it.
