2004 DRC Grands Echezeaux Rouge Condition: Not as deeply colored. In contrast to the expressive spiciness of the Echézeaux, this is a clear notch up in elegance and is clearly finer with a ultra high-toned floral and spice-infused nose that merges seamlessly into linear and ultra pure medium full flavors that trade more on finesse and refinement than what is usually a relatively powerful and muscular wine. This isn't a big wine but the superb detail and unmatched precision are stunning but be aware that it will be a wine for the patient as this is very understated at present and will very definitely require extended cellar time to really open up.
