My first ever DRC. Always a special feeling I guess. This Echezeaux seems a bit harsh showing a bit too much of the new oak. Appeals darker on the nose than the St. Vivant. Lots of wild berries, high acidity, nice structure. No doubt a very good wine but I think it needs more time to get together.

Some Burgundy I can get behind. A rare occasion.

Painfully young. Stems and oak. If it was your first DRC, you'd be very disappointed. Knowing what age does for these beauties, it just 10-15 before its time.

One of the best wines I have ever tasted. If wine could be what you imagine heaven to be this comes close. Indescribable perfection!
