The 1987 Echezeaux is as exciting as the 1986. More flattering and precocious in style, it shows excellent color, a lovely rich bouquet of plum-like fruit, plenty of spicy oak, relatively full body, and a long, crisp finish. It will be the first to mature among the domaine's wines, and should be ready by 1992-1993; it will age well for 15 or more years.

Most forward of the DRCs, with beautiful aromas of currant, berries and a bouquet of spices that fairly leaps out of the glass then hangs on to the long finish. Tannic, tart and tightly wound, but so focused and concentrated that it has to be great after cellaring until 1993 to '97.??–null??Region: France / Burgundy / Echézeaux Select to Add
