A deft but not invisible application of wood frames overtly spicy and ripe aromas of both red and dark currants along with a lovely floral hint. There is a seductive mouth feel to the notably plush medium weight plus flavors that possess plenty of sappy extract that does a fine job of buffering the firm tannic spine on the balanced and relatively powerful finish. While this beautiful effort will definitely require the better part of 12 to 15 years to be completely ready it should be approachable after only 7 or 8. 2025+

(WA91-93 points) The 2013 Echezeaux has a very refined bouquet with delineated raspberry, crushed strawberry and Morello cherry scents that are underpinned by fine mineral notes. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, fine acidity and quite a linear finish that will need time to really get into its stride. It comes across as a light, polite Echezeaux at present. - Neal Martin

This is a solid red, with a firm backbone upholding the cherry, raspberry, floral and spice aromas and flavors. All the components are there, but need time to integrate. The long finish shows potential. Best from 2019 through 2035. — B.S.
