Tasted at the Domaine Engel tasting in London, the 1970 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru could never compare to the astounding 1971, but it put in a decent effort considering that this was never a great Burgundy vintage. The nose is fully mature, perhaps rather fatigued with an algae-like aroma dominating. Think of an aquarium just before you clean it out. The palate is actually quite pleasant: well balanced with a slither of Seville orange and bay leaf. The tannins feel blocky compared to the finer 1971, rendering this austere and just a little dry on the finish. It has seen better days but remains a commendable Grands Echézeaux. Tasted October 2016.
