Tasted at the Domaine Engel tasting in London, the 1984 Echézeaux Grand Cru put in a creditable performance given the dismal growing season. Vervain tea and dry earth form the light aromatics that reflect the growing season, yet the palate is much better. It offers dried redcurrant fruit, herbaceous for sure yet with adequate freshness towards the finish, even a cheeky touch of aniseed popping up on the aftertaste. Not bad at all, especially considering the vintage. Tasted October 2016.
