A gorgeous M-G Ech drinking in a peak window. Has the ripeness and fullness of 2006 with so much freshness, elegance, refinement and silkiness. Loaded with spice character.

1/3, vg cork. Bright pale/medium garnet, pale garnet rim. Aromatic - bilberry fruit - florals, spice, sense of soil. Medium bodied, elegant but quite mouth-filling, bilberry, spice, florals again, lovely vibrant acids, very fine tannins, long, harmonious finish. Excellent/outstanding, now drinking well - probably start of plateau.

Popped and poured and enjoyed over two nights. Just a hint of funk on the nose which also showed notes a sweet red fruit. Good depth and concentration on the palate, especially for an '06. More earthy and red fruited flavors but also some classic Burg spice notes. Great effort here but not quite as good as the incredible CV produced in this vintage.

Ahh. Lovely like past bottles. Light ruby color is followed by a super nose of mushrooms, red fruits, sun baked leaves and oriental spices. Benchmark aromas. Palate follows the nose into an integrated, silky palate. Should be delicious for years. (94)

(Mugneret-Gibourg Georges Echézeaux) Width though not that much depth to the aromatics. A pretty red and black fruit mix, and super width on the palate. Very fine expansion into the mid-plate before slowly lingering. Makes a strong impression.

5/27/2022 - viniferatu Likes this wine:
tasted blind, guessed Echezeaux 2008, but I knew someone probably brought a M-G, so I was playing the room...
cherry, plum, blackberry, beautiful oak spice, forest floor, mint, vague flowers, beautiful lift and dimension on the nose
dense and velvety on the palate, structured and intense, young, very complex and long on the finish
