(WA93-95 points) The 2013 Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru has a strict and linear nose at first, a little aloof perhaps, but very well defined and focused with perfumed red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, slightly grainy tannin, very good depth and yet it "floats" across the mouth, finally delivering the structure just on the masculine, austere finish. Again, it is very well proportioned and natural with a dash of spice lingering on the aftertaste. Utterly entrancing. - Neal Martin

(BH91-94 points) This is perhaps the spiciest wine in the range though the surrounding red berry fruit and floral scents are relatively reticent if not invisible. There is a surprisingly supple mouth feel to the mid-palate of the broad-shouldered middle weight plus flavors that tighten up quickly on the punchy and powerful finish that delivers very fine if not truly stunning length. Like the Clos de Vougeot this will definitely need at least 6 to 8 years of bottle age to be approachable and reward 12 to 15.
