The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Echezeaux offers a nose of intense blackberry and fresh herb aromas. Medium to full-bodied, rich, and ample, it is crammed with lush layers of cherries, blackberries, and spices. This sexy, extroverted wine has loads of sweet tannin in its personality. It is seamless, fruit-packed, and exciting. Drink it over the next 12 years. Importer: Seagram Chateau and Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel. (212) 572-7725.
