The score 95 for 2005 DRC Echezeaux is from Burghound, Allen Meadows and this is the tasting note - This is still quite deeply colored and displaying zero bricking, or even much lightening at the rim. Ripe and beautifully spicy and floral-inflected aromas have turned moderately secondary in character (though with no sous-bois). The rich, broad-shouldered and markedly powerful big-bodied flavors display outstanding length on the still firm and slightly warm finale. The mouth feel is an exercise in contrasts as the mid-palate seems largely resolved and even supple yet the finish firms up considerably while making clear that it's going to need another 6 to 10 years to reach its full apogee.
