96 Points Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2019 Echezeaux Grand Cru showed especially well from barrel, and it has realized all that potential in bottle. Wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries, cherries and plums mingled with exotic spices, peonies, blood orange and raw cocoa, it’s full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a broad attack and a deep, multidimensional core. Long and perfumed, it’s as fine a young Echézeaux as I can remember tasting chez Dujac.
92-94 Points Allen Meadows
Once again there are plenty of spice and floral influences adding breadth to the nose of purple fruit, exotic tea and hoisin. The succulent and almost delicate middle weight flavors possess a suave mid-palate mouthfeel before tightening up on the dusty, moderately austere and sneaky long finale. This is clearly capable of extended cellaring but it’s sufficiently supple that it should also be approachable after only 7 to 8 years.
