Ruby with a whack of raspberry and blueberry on the nose - underscoring a structured, balanced intense palate that is fresh and expansive on the back end. Long cranberry leather finish with just an early hint of secondary flavours. No doubt a great Echezeaux of a very under rated vintage.

Slightest initial mustiness on the nose that largely blew off after 15 minutes. Red cherry notes but a somewhat hollowed palate albeit with plenty of acid.

From the cellar of a friend who noted he paid $50 on release for the bottle! Very dark, brooding fruit with stem notes; a deep and pure nose that speaks to the '91 vintage. Gorgeous texture in the mouth with maturing purity of the fruit--I love '91 burgs. Good finish, and this opens up with more and more air, gaining in depth and structure. What it lacks is a defining sense of terroir, but perhaps that is Echezeaux. A very good wine I'd be more than happy to encounter again--can drink now or hold for several years.

Elegant, muted nose. This wine was very pretty and earth driven and should be drunk within the next five years
