  Nose: strawberry, spices, green pepper, smoke, mushroom, rose petals, cherry tomato, rice cake, orange rind
  Notes: started drinking after opening for one hour. This is an absolutely stunning wine from Mongerd Mugneret and its quite delicious. This is the very nice kind of Grands Echezeaux that got me to fall in love with Burgundy in the beginning of my winr journey. Although the 04 greenness is still present in the beginning but I think it has not affected the overall profile of the wine. The nose is intense and the palate is silky and smooth with a distinctive smokiness to it. This wine will have no problem holding up for the next 10-12 years. I am becoming more confident with the 2004s and I think its performing a little better than most people think for this vintage. I had the Richebourg from Mugneret not long ago and I think the Grands Echezeaux is actually on par with it. Having done all of the grand cru cuvees from Mongeard Mugneret I think it's safe to conclude that for this particular vintage the Grands probably delivers the best value. I am definitely a huge fan of the Domaine as they make some seriously good wines especially when it's aged.

  Vertical tasting of 2002-2005 GE. Last out of 4.
  On the positive side, this wasn't overtly green like the CdL from 04. Showed very advanced on the nose, with stewed and oxidized aromas. The palate showed a little flat and tired, not much energy or lift. Very much marked by the vintage.

  Impressed with how this turned out. No green flavors or aromas. Maybe we were wrong about 2004. Maybe the wines just require some time before the green flavors and aromas disappear like they did in '91. Very aromatic and perfumed with rose petals, rose hips, wild herbs, red cherry. Quite fresh and acid driven on the palate. Doesn't have the depth of fruit and flavors that we're used to from this vineyard but a fine effort considering the vintage.
