Bouchard Aîné & Fils Echezeaux Grand Cru Cuvée Signature 2001

Echezeaux, Côtes de Nuits, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceOpen oak toast and cardamom nose with barnyard and cherry jam underneath. It's fairly firm on entry with elegant, vanilla, cherry spicy flavours but not much after. The finish is short and dry with more cedar bark flavouring. There's some potential here but it will need time. Another typical '01 that's low on fruit.Tasted: 27 April 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
