Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir

I got handed this to open and the comment was that most likely it was gone
It was a gift, who knows how kept
However these are the best surprises
Never had a Grand Echezeaux this good and aged. Only Rene Engel left me a better memory

Seamless fruit and perfect acidity and balance. Black fruit and Layers of jammy yuminess!. Blackberry

Beautiful fruit right off the rip. Slight anise up front.

Happy Bastille Day!! This pretty happy ....

dark berry patch, nutmeg, earth, exotic mushrooms, surprising hint of tobacco ~ silky & penetrating yet fruit feels sour & bruised

Dark cherry, fresh tobacco, black olive, mineral backbone. Big structure with being overtly Tannic. Great mouth feel and finish

👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻 slaying babies like woah

Great comparison of 2 GC, both '93, not a vintage that would be regarded as spectacular, the Mongeard-Mugneret was all showy and expressive when opened, the Mugneret-Gibourg needed a little more time to come around, but at a pinch I think the M-M was the hit.

Some barnyard on the nose but plenty of fruit and tannin remain. Still has a few years to go.

Lovely and soft. Elegant.
