  It took 2 hours for the bottle to open up and it gets better with the evening. Good bouquet, smooth in the mouth, what l look for in a fine burgundy. Still a lot of life in it.

  02755/18058, E/R/LT trio. Lightest but very approachable with sappy vintage red fruit and earthy character, very classically done. 93

  Interestingly, a vintage of DRC Eche I don’t recall tasting. A sound bottle, that somehow didn’t move me. Good, but not as impressive as its pedigree would suggest.

  DRC Échezeaux 1996 vs Gros Vougeot 1996
  
  Cette DRC est typique au nez. une explosion de truffes fraiches avec une pointe floral. Un nez tout simplement ahurissant ! En bouche, c'est délicat, encore une très belle matière/structure et le fruit est bien présent. Cependant, la longueur me laisse sur ma faim. Pas le plus complexe des DRC mais le nez est sans aucun doute dans une classe à part.

  Complex nose of old furniture, rosebuds and ripe stems all presenting simultaneously. The palate was a touch mature but well resolved and delicate, revealing overripe cherries and a meaty, smoky side that emerged after 45 minutes in the glass. A little reticent at moments, this was a refined and elegant expression.
