  Flirts with perfection. Commanding, intense, enticing, layered aromas — fresh and dried fruits, loads of stem spice, black tea, toasted herbs and florals. Rich, concentrated palate picks up weight with air. Nothing out of place. Long finish.

  Fabulous dinner last night at Adelaide’s Vincenzo’s restaurant. Their house cured prosciutto was sublime, wild boar sausage excellent and red mullet with sofrito simply outstanding. We hooked through a few excellent bottles including a fresh 86 Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet ‘Morgeot’ and a tight ball of liquorice and sweet earth that was the 99 ‘Baby Jesus’ but the star of the show was the 1989 Domaine Dujac Echezeaux. Quite simply one of the best wines I have had this year. The nose is fresh, sappy and ethereal. There are notes of rose petals, freshly grated ginger, violets, raspberries and cherries. In the mouth flavours begin with a simmering beef stock with a bouquet garni and some root vegetables thrown in. The savoury elements move aside after some time in the glass and are joined by fresh berries and cherries and sweet spice. It is lacy, detailed and direct with wonderful acidity for the vintage. Many thanks to Stephen and Prue Henschke for sharing this bottle that they have had in their cellar since release.

  Usual light color. Strawberry and meat, although more strawberry and less meat than the 1990. Deceptively powerful in that it really flowered after three hours. Extraordinary extract and finish. To me, all of Dujac's wines taste remarkably similar, terroir is not really in the picture. But regardless, they are great red burgundies. And at 97 points, I'm not pushing it.
