A highly-spiced nose of purple and cassis is sprinkled with warm earth and anise notes that leads to rich, intense and quite generous broad-shouldered flavors that brim with seemingly buckets of tannin-buffering dry extract that culminate in a palate staining and strikingly persistent finish. I very much like the balance and while this is certainly firm, it's not hard or aggressive.
Tasted from pre-prepared samples at the Domaine. The Echezeaux takes time to unwind, but eventually reveals great mineralite and poise: cold limestone, Alpine streams intermingling with crisp red-berried fruit. The palate is very harmonious and generous on the entry: fine succulent tannins, joyful red-berried fruit with just a touch of spice, building to a clean, weight, persistency finish that is more like a Grands Echezeaux. Excellent. Tasted November 2010.
