Jean Grivot, Echézeaux 2001
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
Tasting note: (opened from personal storage). Even after 16 years of bottle age the spicy dark berry fruit nose remains restrained. There is excellent density and power to the concentrated medium weight plus flavors that brim with both minerality and plenty of dry extract before culminating in a mouth coating, intense and muscular finish that is still on the moderately austere side. While this could certainly be enjoyed now, I would opt for holding it for another 3 to 5 years first because even though the average 2001 is drinking perfectly well now, this could use a few more years of cellar time. In a word, excellent. 93p Burghound December 2017
