Burghound, July 2011, Score: 94
(With thanks to Dr. Reed Day). The heavy wood spice that dominated the concentrated black fruit from cask has now largely, if not completely, been absorbed and leads to round, sexy, seductive, earthy, nicely rich and detailed flavors of excellent intensity and fine length. This is still relatively primary though the depth is slowly emerging and while it will undoubtedly be a long term cellar candidate, it should be close to its majority in another 7 to 10 years. Note that I have upgraded my view of this wine considerably as I was not at all sure that it could successfully integrate this much wood but indeed it has. Tasted several times recently with consistent results. Drink: try from 2014+.

Burghound, April 2002, Score: 91
Tasting note: Heavy wood spice presently dominates the fruit and leads to round, sexy, seductive, earthy, nicely rich and detailed flavors of excellent intensity and fine length. As of yet, this has developed no nuance at all and it's frankly a bit one-dimensional and it will be interesting to see if the wine can successfully integrate this much oak. To be sure, there is good underlying material and certainly a fine track record behind the wine plus a demonstrated ability to age even in less than stellar vintages but this is presently displaying more wood than I personally can sign up for. Drink 2009-2018
Region
Echézeaux
One of two Grand Crus within the Flagey-Echezeaux area right in the heart of the Cote de Nuits. Relatively large and consequently diverse for a Grand Cru, the better Echézeaux wines undoubtedly deserve this status. As always in Burgundy vineyard location and grower is critical.
