92-94 points Burghound:

Subtle wood spice, violets, cassis, plus and warm earth aromas combine to introduce rich, full, complex and mouth coating flavors that possess perfect balance, particularly between the often counterbalancing aspect of power and detail. This is a stunning Echézeaux with everything it needs for a long evolution yet so much mid-palate sap that it will be approachable relatively young.

Bizot’s 2005 Echezeaux smells of concentrated, tiny cherries and purple plums, bitter-sweet flowers, and wood smoke. Intensely-fruited, pungently smoky and quite gripping on the palate, its inner-mouth suggestions of pit fruit distillates and flowers are especially alluring. Meaty (raw) and mineral (chalk) dimensions are not neglected here either. The long, savory, sweetly-fruited finish is marked by abundant spice, but also by fine tannin and a hint of wood that at least for now ever so slightly cut against the purity and relative delicacy of the fruit.
