The 2009 Echezeaux is rich, dark and beautifully layered. The intensity and depth of the fruit is nicely balanced by the impossibly fine, silky tannins. This sumptuous, textured wine is impressive and totally compelling. The Echezeaux was aged in 100% new oak Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Powerful nose of dark fruits . Surprisingly it was not the palate that I was expecting given the vintage. While certainly not a shrinking violet the palate was concentrated but not ponderous . Flavors of black cherry, plums, spice and some oak notes. I was very pleased no alcohol heat. Definitely structure there but something tells me this will not be a long distance runner.

Power. Depth. Dark cherry. The vintage tales over with exuberance. Give this plenty of time.

So young but wide open and generous already. Pure, sweet never ending fruit but the texture was the most intriguing. Round, silky, voluminous and jello-like.

Why isn't this as good as it should be? :-/ restrained. Decanted for hours and tasted throughout the night. Better right out the bottle.

In a weird spot for me. Oak on the nose with an almost buttery quality
