Sunday heaters (Chicago, IL): #01882. Like the recent 2012 Echezeaux, this wine smells like how DRC ought to smell. Very intense spice nose as well as some tart red fruits that are emblematic for the vintage. The palate doesn't show too much oak at this point -- the material has likely absorbed it all. The palate is quite structural; I wish it were more expressive and the fruit a little more showy.

This was showing beautifully. Such pretty aromatics, so elegant and fresh. Drank at Eleven Madison Park. I had a 91' DRC Grands Exchezeaux a few weeks ago and I much preferred this 96'.

Great nose. Real purity of palate and good length. Will last.

DRC GE Lunch: The most "classic" wine served today. So bright and balanced, clean and precise. The table was going gaga for this, calling it the best '96 red Burgundy they had ever tasted. I liked this more the longer it was in the glass, and clearly this has a long and brilliant life ahead of it.

Brick Tending to brown at the edge; I am surprised by that. Nose is caramel and dried fruit - very expressive. It has flavours of caramel, baking spice, dark plum, and some raisin. Lengthy, silky and the acid/tannin shows only after swallowing. This was a treat.
