WA 93 (6/1997): I often prefer Engel's Grands-Echezeaux over his Clos Vougeot, but in 1995 found them to be equally spectacular. Dark-colored and with a brooding, tight, muted nose, the massively endowed Grands-Echezeaux explodes on the palate with powerful, huge, black, roasted fruits. Rugged and dark, this full-bodied, muscular, rich, and spicy behemoth demands to be held for 8 or more years before being drunk over the following decade. It is unfiltered and unfined. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.
BH 88 (3/2006): I quite liked the expressive, spicy and nicely complex nose but the intense and still very firmly structured flavors are on the angular side and it's not clear that there is sufficient mid-palate depth to ever completely buffer the tannic backbone. As such, this finishes with moderate astringency yet the complexity is such that there is more than medium interest here. I would continue to cellar this to allow the tannins to mellow somewhat and then serve it with appropriate food and it should offer moderate enjoyment. Try from 2009+. |

| BH 89 (7/2015): A fully mature nose is displaying full-on secondary aromas with good spice and earth nuances adding additional complexity that the delicious and attractively vibrant middle weight flavors also display. There is good detail and a light touch of minerality to the largely resolved, balanced and lingering finish. For my taste this is drinking now as well as it's going to though with that said, there is no particular rush to drink up. Note that one recent bottle displayed notable oxidation and was quite tired. (Drink starting 2015). |
