Had side by side with the Henri Jayer 1990 Echezeaux. Texturally, I preferred the Dujac, as the acidity and tannins were all-so-slightly aggressive on the palate in the Jayer. I welcomed the relative softness in this wine that other reviewers pointed out. I loved the Dujac's focused and clear stem and tea spice. It was linear and more accessible to the senses. The Jayer overwhelmed the senses in this respect with so much stimulation coming from all directions. The Jayer was in a higher league for sure, but I kept going back to the Dujac thinking that I liked it even if not as much as the Jayer. Thank you, Wilf.

Clean and cool. Certainly one of the better vintages for Dujac Echezeaux.

Mid-weight palate but a beautiful lofty sweet spice bouquet. Soft overall.

Not as effusive as many bottles of '90 Dujac, this nonetheless displayed sufficient restrained enthusiasm to be enjoyable.

Very refined, nail polish aromatics. Not as exuberant as best MSD grand crus on the nose, but still very fine.
