Bottle 1435/1938. Coming off a Romanee 06 which had been opened the day before this was aromatically a step back. But that’s not to say this was pedestrian, not at all. Superbly symmetrical, glowing blue and red fruits, emerging spice, sweet sandlewood, superb sap drinking middle of the fairway which might sound harsh but it was “just” an awesome bottle of Pinot, simple as.

Side by side the 09 and 12. Qualitatively all on a very high par. The 2010 was remarkable for its seamlessness, symmetry and precision. Liquid cashmere in a glass. A brilliant classic 2010 red Burg where there was nothing too little and nothing in excess either. I liked this 10 Eche better than a 10 Reignots I had 3 years ago. Very good now already but probably the best still years ahead.

Lovely aromatics with red fruit, spice, and purple flower. Strong core fruit on the palate which slowly unfurls in the glass. It is feminine and transperent. Good contrast against the more masculine 09 DRC GE on the side.

Preferred palate to aromatics, but good showing for an inconsistent wine. (545/1938)

Another excellent bottle with similar notes to bottle 6 months ago. So easy to drink right now.
