[From magnum.] Surprisingly fat and rich. Or perhaps not - I've often read that these wines can be denser and darker than we tend to expect from Burgundy. I even felt that there are notes reminiscent of Sangiovese - aromas of chocolate and moist pipe tobacco. Texturally this wine is velvety and caressing. Hugely satisfying and only really just beginning to show its age. Another 20 years of pleasure here easily.

Nez de cerise très mûre, sandalwood, très léger poivron mûr... En bouche, tannins complètement fondus, très fruité, cerise presque confiturée, délicieux!!

The First Christmas of New England @ Christmas WIMPS 2022 (La Trompette, Chiswick): Wow, such a profound wine. Layers and layers of rich red fruits with a little toffee apple sweetness at the margins. Later some brazier roasted chestnuts and smokiness. Palate is bright with precise and spicy red fruits and such class. It balances power and elegance beautifully. What a treat.

Davy's Strange Magnum Attractor (Hawksmoor Guildhall): Served from magnum. Compared to its younger brother, a little muted - I suspect I did not give this the attention it deserved.

Like many Dujac Echezeaux, it is underwhelming without the Dujac signature. In fact, the palate shows more earthy tone than what one would prefer.
