TN: 1996 Joseph Drouhin Echezeaux (France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru)

  • 1996 Joseph Drouhin Echezeaux - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru (3/31/2012)
    Library wine. Popped and poured. Medium ruby color. Very attractive nose from the moment of opening with scents of black raspberry, rhubarb, iodine, camphor, forest floor. Satin-textured layers of raspberry, mulberry, and black cherry on the palate with notes of earthiness and minerals mixed in. Acidity very ample but not screechy. Tannins still firm. Long, persistent finish with a pang of sweet cherry fruit and iron grip at the end. Very enjoyable but probably has years to go before peaking. (92 pts.)
