The 2008 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru is beginning to drink beautifully, bursting from the glass with a perfumed bouquet of peonies, blood orange, wild berries, plums and smoked duck, framed by a nicely integrated touch of spicy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and satiny, with melting tannins and a bright spine of acidity, it concludes with a long, sapid finish.
