Tasted at the Domaine Engel tasting in London, the 1969 Echézeaux Grand Cru is fully mature with wide degradation on the rim. The nose is very attractive: a nuanced animally bouquet, vestiges of rustic dark berry fruit, sous-bois and black truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with good weight and presence, coarse perhaps, yet nicely focused with a structured, gritty finish that lingers. Stocky, broad-shouldered and becoming more volatile in the glass, it might be considered a disappointing wine in the context of the vintage. It just about passes muster and there is always the possibility that there are better bottles out there. Tasted October 2016.
