Note di degustazione
Crushed flowers, savory herbs, tobacco, mint and pine waft from the glass as the 1985 Échézeaux shows off its personality. Aromatically expressive and totally beguiling, the 1985 is in a perfect place to drink now, yet also shows no signs at all of fading. The 1985 is delicate and feminine, even a bit fleeting at times, but also gorgeous.

The Echezeaux, normally the lightest and least distinguished of these wines, is the best I have tasted from them. Deep ruby, with a fragrant, rich, complex bouquet of violets and spicy oak, this full-bodied wine is quite long, velvety, and will keep until 1995-2000. This fabled estate has had a brilliant track record since 1978. Lalou Bize-Leroy and Aubert de Villaine seem to have everything tightly within their grasps, so it is unlikely that some of the lapses in quality control that occurred previously will resurface. I am sure they still cannot understand why their estate is so frequently singled out for malicious attacks, but no one should have any trouble appreciating the domaine's 1985s, which are their best wines in decades, even surpassing their sensational 1978s. The problem is coming up with the cash to finance them. The wines, aged in 100% new oak, are never filtered.
