DRC performed exceptionally well in '91 and this Echézeaux is no exception. Reserved yet elegant nose that is a combination of primary fruit and spicy secondary aromatics followed by deep, rich, still tannic flavors that show uncommon depth and lots of buffering sève on the long, complex finish. While this can be enjoyed now, it will be better in 5 years and should drink beautifully for another 10 after that. A very classy wine. Note also that another recent bottle was marred by enough brett to diminish the overall enjoyment though from a maturity standpoint, it was consistent with other bottles, which is to say right on the front edge of prime drinkability.
