Oh,they have years to go,both in bordeaux and burgundy,especially the top houses.
They are accessible now with some showing interesting complexities,but will,in some cases,develop even more.
Great drinking ahead.

Daniel Bouquenet Echezeaux 1997
Someone please tell me more about this wine. I had this tonight (an unfamiliar and unknown producer) and the wine was fantastic !!! Amazing QPR Best Gatsby ...
Nice job...Echezeaux is a huge commune (around 80 producers), and thus can be highly variable in quality from producer to producer.
I don't believe '97 was a particularly brilliant year in Burgundy, but like almost all years, there are gems to be found from solid producers. I'm not familiar with Bocquenet, and I don't believe I own any of their wines. That latter point doesn't mean an...
I think you summarized it perfectly John.
Mr. Gatsby drank a good wine in perfect stride entering maturity and based on the colour has years to go. Mr. Gatsby if you loved it and the value/ratio is high (which is hard to find in Burgundy), I’d go on the hunt for some cases.
Ooof. Bill brings the heat.
The nicest Echezeaux right there. That RSV will be incredible too. 1996 was a good year! These are still probably young for DRC wines in a quality year.
Great line up

Can i still hang on to them or are they on their way out.
I have owned them for a while but i today’s world they become trophy and gift wines rather than enjoying what is best. It can be very special to enjoy a birth year wine i know i have a huge stock of 96. I am enjoying wines everyday and with a close friend...

Very Nice!
I have yet to lay my lips on DRC. However, I'm sitting on a bottle of DRC Eschezeaux 1999 in my wine fridge. I've read it's a good vintage. I'm just waiting for the right moment. Enjoy yours!
Nice Echezeaux
Not sure about the vintage but the vinteris very good. Just curious about the plastic wrapping?
