The medium-bodied, closed, austere Echezeaux displays gobs of new oak, as well as frightful tannin levels. It does offer a sweet attack and good ripeness, but the tannin level is troublesome. Cacheux's 1993s are mixed in quality, with several cuvees too tannic, and one of his wines (the Vosne-Romanee La Croix Rameaux) an unsure bet for the future. This estate's flattering, sweet, complex style of Pinot Noir is not as evident in 1993 as in other vintages.
