These bottles are from the cellar of a long time licensee (restaurant) in Eastern Canada. They were acquired on release from the agent and immediately stored in the restaurant's environmentally controlled cellar until coming to Iron Gate.
The score for 2006 DRC Echezeaux is 92 points from Allen Meadows, The Burghound and the tasting note - Just as it was from the very beginning the expressive nose of maturing red and black fruit is markedly floral in character with a plethora of spice and earth nuances. There is good richness to the round and delicious middle weight flavors that possess an attractively textured and punchy finish that delivers good if not truly special depth and length. I very much like the overall sense of balance and about the only nit is a trace of backend warmth. This is approaching its initial drinking window though for my taste the '06 Ech should benefit from another 3 to 5 years or so of cellaring.
