2001 Bocquenet Echezeaux

Written By: Michael Zimberg on Thursday, September 25, 2008

This is not available at retail, but I include it to show the value of keeping a cellar. I bought this a few years ago for $60 and it is a stunning grand cru. It is very rare currently to find any wine at this quality level for under $100.

This is a wonderful, deep wine. It smells like I am in an enchanted forest. It reminds me of being in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, in the winter, after a rainstorm. There's pine, moss, wet dirt, and lush green plants. On the palate, it is still primary, with loads of sappy, syrupy cherries, abundant but smooth tannins, and and impeccably long finish. I opened and decanted 3 hours ago, and now it is singing like a songbird. I have one more bottle and will try to age at least 5 more years.
