  Still too young. Opened to an extent after an hour that was about it. Fine wine, long lived….

  "Casual DRC BYO": 07620/14651. Lovely vintage ripeness, much weightier than this wine in other vintages, with classic woodiness and enough red fruit to caress the palate. It was however quite sleepy throughout the night; not a vintage to drink yet, still. 93-94

  I regard this as the best vintage ever made by DRC that I have tasted. Stunningly rich, expressive. Very sappy and plush, almost exhuberant, but its got enough tension and acidity to frame it all in. There's a beautiful milky, dusty coat that grips the tongue. Red and blue fruit, rose petals, exotic spices. Had this once or twice a year for over a decade and it mostly is consistent except it often shuts down and opens in cycles like a great wine trying to find its plateau. Easily last a few more decades. 5 years more at least before it finds its plateau.

  Terrific bottle, an exotic and thrilling Echezeaux that's wonderful now with a long life ahead. Quite a bit more accessible than recently tasted '99 Richebourg, RSV, and GE. Spice, tea, and rose petals this is reference standard bravo!

  As good if not perhaps even better paired with food from esora! So layered complex and changed quite a bit over the drinking window. But certainly could still cellar because of the incredible structure of the 99. Love it!
