1996 Rouget Echezeaux 1.5ltr

Beautifully rendered fruit that offer exquisite detail and a refined yet earthy character followed by fine, relatively rich and intense flavors plus a wonderfully long finish. The fruit and flavors are still entirely primary and I particularly like the elegance and evident breed. A lovely wine that is no where near ready, not one would necessarily expect a 6 year old grand cru to be approaching its peak and this has the balance and acid backbone to live for 25 years Burghound 92
