Critics Ratings

'This is no longer so completely primary and while the nose has not yet reached full maturity, it is approaching it slowly but surely. The aromatic profile is very Vosne with ample blue and red berry fruit aromas cut with spice, earth and discreet game hints that lead to delicious, round and largely, if not completely, resolved medium weight flavors that display subtle mineral nuances on the long and lingering finish. While this could certainly be drunk now with pleasure, for my taste I would advise leaving the '98 Échézeaux in the cellar for another 3 to 5 years and then drink over the next 10 to 15.'- Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90/100 (Sept 2010)

'Bright ruby-red. Spicy aromas of cherry, raspberry and vanillin oak. Juicy, intense raspberry flavor offers a restrained sweetness and moderate flesh. The tannins are supple and fairly sweet.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2000)
