Dujac Echézeaux Grand Cru 2011

95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Like the Domaine Dujac Beaumonts, the 2011 Echézeaux has taken on the elegance of the vintage at a very early age and is a great wine in the making. The deep and stunning nose offers up a glorious mélange of plums, black cherries, cinnamon, cocoa, lovely minerality, smoke, gamebirds and a stylish base of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and supremely elegant, with a lovely core of fruit, fine-grained tannins and excellent length and grip on the poised and properly reserved finish. This will be a great bottle of Echézeaux. 2024-2060. (Nov/Dec 2012)"

92-95 points Fine Wine Review: "The Echézeaux is from vines that now average about 25 years of age. The wine is spicy and deep with minerality, nervosity, and tannin. (Issue #139; 2013)"

92-94 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(100% vendange entier): Good full red. Red fruits, pepper, stone, spices and a pungent note of sandalwood on the nose. Intensely flavored and stylish, offering a good tight core of dark fruit flavor, enticing sweetness andserious spine. The wine's tight tannins will need time to expand during the last months of elevage and in the bottle. Terrific potential. (Jan/Feb 2013)"

93 points and Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from the climat Champs Traversin). A discreet touch of wood sets off the spicy black cherry, cassis and floral aromas that slide gracefully into rich, generous and opulent large-scaled flavors that display both excellent volume and fine phenolic maturity of the structural items, all wrapped in a mouth coating and mildly austere finish. This is every bit as long as the Malconsorts but not quite as deep. That said, there is an abundance of dry extract here and it could match it in time. Drink: 2023+. (Jan 2014)"
