  Wines of the Gods (House of AC and JC): Component of DRC Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux vertical. Medium ruby with subtle herb cherries on nose. Savoury Chelan cherries on medium palate, much denser than the Echezeaux, with a slightly bitter, smoky finish. Would probably drink this sooner than later due to the vintage. Best 2026-2036.

  This is shaping up to be a beautiful wine best of the 3 bottles I had the pleasure of drinking over the last 3 years. This had a ravishing nose that kept on giving through the drinking window and a consistent and structured palate. Drank next to a 09 JFM Musigny that was still quite tight but finished strong and a weak but savoury 01 Rousseau chambertin that never really blossomed. This was the overall WOTN

  Jeremy Holmes wrote about the notes of "decaying rose" in this wine and that is about all I got from it. Not even DRC could save this wine in this vintage. Please don't spend $3000 for this on the grey market. You can do much better. Zombies might like the decaying notes. People, not so much.

  Beautiful floral nose similar to the 04 Echezeaux. On the palate it’s starting to drink but with a lot more structure and density characteristic of a grands echezeaux. The Echezeaux is way more approachable and ethereal at this stage. Happy to wait 5-10 more years to drink the next bottle. Will likely integrate and get only better. 94-96 potential.

  Kleur: Fluwelig licht robijnrood met een brede oranjebruine rand. Aroma / bouquet: Na enkele uren beluchting: Wow, zelden een meer stuivend en intens bouquet aangetroffen bij een 'belegen' Pinot Noir. Bosaardbeien, marsepein, cederhout en zoethout. Smaak / Afdronk: Mijn kelder bevat weinig rode Bourgogne en weinig Pinot Noir en dat heeft een reden. Maar e ens in de zoveel tijd is er een wijn die me laat twijfelen ;-). In mijn proefnotitie van 25-12-2015 schreef ik 'een vuistslag met een fluwelen handschoen', die omschrijving gaat nog steeds op. Verfijnde zachte zuurgraad, mooi gerijpte tannines, een prettige 'bite' en een indrukwekkend lange afdronk. Prachtige balans. Algemeen / potentieel: Buitengewoon indrukwekkende wijn! 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 14 + Smaak / Afdronk: 19 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 97/100
  
  Color: Velvety light ruby red with a broad orange-brown edge. Aroma / bouquet: After a few hours of aeration: Wow, rarely a more dusty and intense bouquet found with an 'matured' Pinot Noir. Wild strawberries, marzipan, cedar and liquorice. Taste / Finish: My cellar contains little red Burgundy and little Pinot Noir, and for a reason. But once in a while there is a wine that makes me doubt ;-). In my tasting note of 25-12-2015 I wrote 'a punch with a velvet glove', that description still applies. Refined soft acidity, beautifully aged tannins, a pleasant 'bite' and an impressively long finish. Beautiful balance. Overall / Potential: Extraordinarily impressive wine! 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 14 + Taste / Finish: 19 + Overall / potential: 9 = 97/100
