Insane! The purity and intensity…nobody makes wines like the ‘GodFather’ of Burgundy!

Henri et Georges Jayer Echezeaux 1998. Vines owned by Henri’s brother Georges. 2X with this wine. Richer and fuller in body(than the Jayer Cros Parantoux 1998 drunk alongside) and became silkier, more savory, and more elegant with time in decanter. Arguably not at apogee, although drinking fantastically now.

Several things indicated that way.

Was super wound up at first. Decanted and then the treat yourself express pulled into the station. The prices of Hankey J's wines are way to high but it's still a treat to drink them

Alas I could not open it...just so few left in the world. Gave it 9.5 on looks and memories of days tasting it in the past. Probably should at erase it...sorry to be a tease.

The only flaw here was that this wine was tasted along with a '88 cros parantoux. Context, context, context.

Domaine Henri Jayer Echézeaux 1990: Get out your Pharrell-style ranger hat because this concentrated, full-bodied #wine transports you straight to the forest with its pronounced notes of underbrush and cedar. Joining this sous-bois character are big swathes of dark fruit and traces of leather. The mile-long finish evokes cedar and bone broth, a primal revitalizer if there ever was one. Despite its quarter-century of age, it is still lively and intriguing, still moving like Jagger.
