Tasting notes
Floral red fruits are found in the aromatics of the 2002 Echezeaux (domaine). Medium-bodied, this is a satin-textured wine in the attack and mid-palate. Lovely red berries can be detected among this concentrated effort’s ripe yet highly present tannin. It tightens in the finish, leading me to believe it requires cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2014. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 888-7575

Good medium ruby. Captivating aromas of dark berries, tobacco and smoke. Dense, sweet and juicy, with noteworthy inner-mouth purity and energy. Hints of minerals and smoke. Seems less evolved than the Reignots despite possessing a supple texture. Long, gripping finish features very fine tannins. But is this better than the superb 2001?
