(WA92-94 points) The 2013 Echézeaux Grand Cru has an enticing fruit-driven bouquet with plenty of raspberry jam, red plum and subtle rose-petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine density: very focused with a silky texture and crisp acidity lending tension on the slightly conservative but engaging finish. This should be a gem once in bottle, one of several outstanding Echézeaux in 2013. - Neal Martin

A spicy and densely fruited nose features notes of red and dark currant, floral, anise and once again an interesting exotic tea character. There is excellent volume if not the power of the Malconsorts with a bit less minerality as well though the seductively textured flavors coat the mouth with an impressive amount of dry extract before culminating in a beautifully well-balanced and persistent if once again linear finish. A classic Ech of generosity and style that should amply reward mid-term cellaring. 2025+
