The beautifully ripe and ruby-colored 1997 Echezeaux displays delightful aromatics reminiscent of flowers, red cherries, and strawberry candy. It is firm, structured, and expressive, yet offers a hugely pleasing and powerful burst of black fruits that saturate the taster's palate. This is a medium-bodied, delineated, and refined wine that will be at its best if consumed over the next 7+ years. Importer: Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel (707) 963-9661.
