Tuesday, January 17, 2017 - 2002 Burgundy 1er Cru Lunch (Fragrance Teochew Restaurant): A truly solid Echezeuax, but in true Grivot fashion, this one will neeed decades to unfurl. It did have an already very attractive nose, with dark shades of fragrant spice, earth and toast swirling around a core of dark berries and black cherries. The palate was rather a few steps behind though. Deep, powerful and broad shouldered, with a firm structure and juicy acidity framing a big mouthful of blueberries and dark cherry notes flecked with dried earth, spice and more toastiness in a long, savoury finish - this came across as a very complete wine, yet with a lot still left buried in the depths of its core. One of the better Echezeaux I have had in a long tme. It is opening up nicely, but I would set this aside for the better part of the decade before approaching it again. It will be superb when its time comes. 93+
