The 1995 Echezeaux Grand Cru showed better than the 1995 Clos de Vougeot tasted alongside: better definition, more vigor, quite vivid with vibrant red cherry and strawberry fruit, laced with minerals and a hint of game. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure, plenty of tart red cherries mixed with orange zest and an almost viscous finish suggesting plenty of ripeness when it was picked 21 years ago. With that splash of soy on the aftertaste, this is a delightful Echezeaux that appears to be aging with style. Tasted November 2016.
