Échézeaux Pinot Noir

Dense and weighty and unfortunately served a little too warm which seemed to bring the wood to the fore. A very impressive bottle nonetheless - 2005

Classic '05 intensity but with the defining noblesse of the producer, not too many '05's are this expressive & giving, but that's why you pay the price for greatness.

First DRC wine

Broke out a big gun for the holiday. Succulent on the first taste from the bottle. Decanted and drank over 2+ hours. Almost no sediment. Striking color. Very deep red. Tons of mature fruit but still lively. Deep and long. Rounded mouthfeel and lingers wonderfully. It’s such a smooth but heady wine. Nicely fragrant. My first DRC.

Perfectly balanced. Bursting with Red fruit. Incredible mid-palate density!

With an hour of air the nose is simply overpowering with a classic DRC taste profile! Simply loved it!

A touch barnyard/straw over powers fruit. Still asleep. Give time.

A special dinner for turning 40. This wine was the star. Transformative, floral, violets, mushrooms, dried cherry...blah blah blah. You can taste the horses as they walk the rows. The sun on the vine. The essence of the grape. Pure terroir....

Celebration of success, simply magnificent
