The 2013 Echézeaux Grand Cru, matured in 35% new oak, has an inward-looking bouquet with introspective black fruit laced with forest floor/sous-bois scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, quite spicy in the mouth with good grip, a more masculine Echézeaux with cracked black pepper toward the assertive finish.
Drink 2018-2030.

This is also mildly reduced but not so much that the spice and floral characters are invisible. There is a much different texture here with its lush and generous rather than muscular palate feel to the seductively textured flavors that culminate in a structured, dusty and extract-rich finish. While this will reward extended keeping the richness is such that it should drink reasonably well young too. Drink 2025+.
