Tasting notes
Good red. Musky aroma of underbrush, with fruit currently suppressed. Sweet but closed, with more funky underbrush and herbs than fruit showing. Diana Snowden says this wine received an extra racking, with the lees added back to the barrel not long before the bottling. I tasted this from a 375 ml. bottle, so it's quite possible the regular bottles are less advanced.

Produced from a parcel in the hillside Champs Traversins sector of its vineyard, the 2002 Echezeaux displays scents of licorice, black cherries, and herbs. Its sweet, balanced, elegant, medium-bodied character displays admirable purity, depth, and loads of candied cherries as well as delicate spices. This bright, expressive offering should be drunk between 2006 and 2013. Importer: Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel. (707) 963-9661
Deep red-ruby. Explosive, reduced aromas of red fruits, iron and meat. Lush and suave in the mouth, with red fruit and mineral flavors. Finishes firmly tannic and a bit dry, in need of a racking.
