  04691 Drinking with Jayer's Echezeauux 97 to compare. Color is more purple and orange than HJ. Aroma is very dusty and misty. Black pepper, smoke, ripe fruit, sweet, prune. Aroma is very 97, hot and ripen. High tannin but very well integrated with the wine.
  
  Around 2 hrs aeration, more smoke and game, not enough acidity (bc of 97?)
  
  Around 3 hrs aeration, dry, tea, dried flower petal.
  
  This bottle is like wearing a misty veil all the time. it's not as elegant as the 97 HJ echezeaux.

  Decanted for a couple of hours. Blackberries and raspberries. Fabulous.

  DRC echezeaux dinner
  
  1990 - PNP, barnyard nose, clearly has a solid structure and sufficient tannins which through dinner started to soften and integrate nicely. Drinking nicely now but need to start drinking bottles in the cellar. 94
  1991 - didn’t like this from the start to the end. I think this was an off bottle. NR
  1997 - surprisingly similar to the 1990. Quite approachable and could go on for many more years. 93+
  2004 - this was the wine that redefined burgundies for me and it continues to be the echezeaux that leads the pack. That ethereal nose, the perfect acidity and length on the palate. Even better then the bottle I had last year. Drink now, not sure how this will evolve with time but certainly hope I ll have the opportunity to find out. 96
  2009 - just too young for me at this stage, a medicinal nose which continued through the evening. The wine started to gain some weight in the glass and the power and structure showed clearly. But needs a lot more time and has the potential. 93+ at this stage

  Echezeaux Extravaganza: Henri Jayer and DRC 1976-2007 (La Grenouille, New York): Smokey nose. Beautiful balance.

  Same as the last note, but this time it was a bit green. Still a great bottle
