Grands Echézeaux, Nicolas Potel 2007

A gentle application of wood blends into ripe, borderline liqueur-like aromas of wild red berry fruit that reflects very little in the way of spice yet interestingly, the textured, rich, full and serious flavors exude an Asian spice box character that continues onto the mouth coating, sappy and layered finish that reveals a soft touch of stems. This is quite firmly structured yet the depth of the extract is such that the flavors seem unduly approachable though I doubt that this will last beyond a year or so after bottling.
